De Geer and members of the 1920 North American Expedition

Gerard De Geer (2nd from left) with Ernst Antevs (right) on an expedition to North America in 1920. Ernst Antevs carried out extensive varve work on the North American Continent

Participants of the 1920 expedition to North America were (left to right above) Ragnar Lidén, Gerard De Geer, Ebba Hult De Geer, and Ernst V. Antevs (from De Geer, 1940). Ernst Antevs would almost single-handedly compile all of the varve sequences we have in the U.S. and Canada today.
