The Polar Sea,

The discovery of the open sea at the North
Pole resolves many doubts and mysteries in d
reference to that high latitude. In DIR. Kane's d
very interesting work, we find the particulars +
of this important addition to our geographical /
knowledge. After wintcring at Smiths Sound,
DIR. Kane, in higher latitude than was ever
before reached by the Arctic Explorers whose
names are inscribed upon the rolls of fame,
sent party over the ice about one hundred
and thirty miles, in direct line, where to their
SURPRISE in the month of June, when all north
of them to Baffin's Bay was still locked up with |
ice, they found an open sea. After tracing its
, shores to point beyond the 80th parallel,
!, they assembled a hill about 500 feet high, and
:, , gazing northward, could discover no land
From this point they estimated their sight to
extend over four thousand square miles OF the
T. sea. The waters bore no indications of having
IS been bound up with ice. A strong north wind
u" of more than twenty-four hours duration
brought no floating ice in view, nor could any
NJ signs of freezing be discovered towards the
Us pole. .H
" Animal life, too, of kinds common to the
o. Arctic regions, abounded near this open water,
- while the fora presented greater variety than
~ had before been found in any other locality
O. The deserted habItatons of the Esqumaux OF
ho the shores Of this sea showed that this people
had been domciled here.
MS These facts will prevent the spirit of Arcti
md discovery from becoming dormant. 1t is
ur. characteristic of our nature to increase cur de
the Sires IN proportoI TO the extent of the gratif
Ec. cation afforded The question naturally arise
ON what will be found in this extreme latitude =
1t the temperature of the water is sufficient
,, high to prevent congelaton, animal life will
,.r found there abundant aud vegetation will
~ more luxurious than any yet witnessed in u
80, regions of ice. Such being the case, men, tc
will probably exist there, and. if so, he shou
be higher in the scale Of humanity than {
dull and wretched Esqumaux.
-. The region yet unexpOred is from sixte
to twenty degrees across. and it embraces
area equal to two. thirds of the continent
a;c L lrope. Here is space enough for empires O
