The history Of South sea explorations
Is much brlefer than that u the frozen
north. In i7A Captain Cook crossed the
list parallel, and concluded that II
there were a continent. It must be stu
ated considerably within the antarctic
circle. In 1923 Weddell penetrated three
degrees further south. but did not
reach any coast. In isll Sir Ross dis
covered what be called Victoria land
and traced iis coast line about 900 miles
70 the southwark. until faced by
mighty wall OF ice which he followed
about 300 miles In an easterly and west
erly direction In 1889 Wilkes observed
land IN 70 degrees latitude and In iSii
he discovered what is now known as
wilkes land. IN 1895 Mr Borchgrevlnk
landed on Possession island. and found
a suitable landing spot on the southern
so-called continent. at Cape Andree on
a later exploration tour. the same dis
coyerer located the southern magnetic
pole. and penetrated TO latitude rs de-
grees and 90 minutes.
The ancient traditions that located a
vast continent In those regions, heated
by volcanic fire and peopled by strange
beings, have long ago been given up.
but scientists hold that at one time in
the earth's history the antarctic lands
were connected with South America and
Australia In all probability. too, at
some time that region must have had
