Wandering the north magnetic pole through geologic time. although students of ancient rock magnetism regard this path as fairly well established, there is no conclusive proof that the geographic pole followed the same path or that the continents maintained their same positions during this lengthy period. Notice also that there are no signs of frigid conditions or glacial action in northeastern Asia during the periods when the pole was supposed to be in that vicinity. Stokes, 1960, p. 168.

This fonds contains materials created or accumulated by Walter Slipchenko during his career and during research for his definitive report, Canada's Arctic Cooperation with the Soviet Union and Russia, 1965-2000. The documentation is comprehensive, covering a number of subjects and organizations, and provides a valuable record of circumpolar life across several nations. In addition to the physical items, it includes a website, www.walterslipchenko.com which provides further information on the scope of the report and the development of international, circumpolar relationships.
