Episode 683
The sources primarily center on the life of Maud Charlotte Mary Victoria, known as Maud of Wales, who reigned as the Queen consort of Norway from 1905 to 1938 alongside her husband, King Haakon VII. Her biography details her upbringing as the daughter of King Edward VII and highlights her quiet influence and charitable work in the nascent Norwegian monarchy. Her historical significance is further demonstrated by the several vast geographical features named in her honor by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. One such feature is the Queen Maud Land, a substantial Norwegian territorial claim in Antarctica containing many international research stations and ice formations. The remaining sources describe the Queen Maud Mountains, a major grouping within the Transantarctic Mountains, and the Queen Maud Gulf, a significant migratory bird sanctuary and bay located in Nunavut, Canada.
