Further, at the present day 1t Is impossi-
BILE to consider the land alone; the whole
antarctic area exhibits phenomena which
remain imperfectly known, and which involve
the great questions of atmospheric circula-
ton, crcumpoar oceanography and mag
netic conditions. Hence, NJ. Arctowski held
that antarctic explorations should be con-

At the moment NJ. Arctowski laid down
this great program the interest of the pub

keen. The means were being got together

extent that 1t was brought forward spon-
taneously by the high officials who guided
the congress. That gathering, adopting NJ.
-Arctowskfs idea, with even a wider scope,
passed resolutions for the formation of an
international association for the study of
the polar regions, the objects of which
would be to obtain an international agree

with polar geography, to make general
effort to reach the terrestrial poles, to or

1t is stated that in conformity with the de-

Just published of the official organ of the

In which the value of NJ. Arctowskis
scheme is strongly insisted on.
The outlines of this scheme have been al
ready given 1t resolves itself into sys-
tematic exploration of the great sections of
unknown land and sea which lie around the
south pole. These sections NJ Arctowski
points out may be marked out In three
great divisions, each of which faces one of
the oceans which battle the antarctic circle
the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian
ocean. His mature consideration of the
subject has brought to NJ. Arctowski the
conviction that the greatest importance at
taches to the preliminary circumpolar ex-
petition which is to clear the ground, or.
rather, map out the course for the explorers
tant, as Maury said long since. to COM
mence by finding the natural harbors In
which the ships Of the international expedi-
lions can lay up and from which they can
send out expeditions by land or over the
ice, according to circumstances.
Taking advantage Of the knowledge opened
up to explorers by the recent discoveries,
M. Arctowski proposes penetrating toward
the south pole along the coast OF Victoria
land, and along the route followed by Scott
and his companions in their famous march
over the Ice fields to the farthest south yet
reached. Sailing by Cape Horn, and fol-
lowing the route of the Belgica, passing
through the straits Of the Belgica, NJ. Arc

explored region facing the Pacific ocean,
skirting any land, continent or islands
which may be found there, and finally land

harbors in the ice, where safety can be

The Belgica started from Antwerp in 1897,
explored the antarctic lands situated south
of Cape Horn, and effected the first winter
ing ever done in the antarctic regions in
1893, returning to Antwerp in 1899. This
expedition of the Belgica was the first ex-
petition in which scientific work was sys-
tematically carried out by stan of highly
qualified scientists in the antarctic regions.
NJ. Arctowski and his companions threw
themselves into the work with an enthusi-

To value at its right worth TIE ardor for
research with which they were filed, tho
discomforts as well as the dangers they
faced must be borne in mind. Antarctic
summers were already known. But. as has
been remarked already, these men and
their companions were the first to expert
ence the piled-up horrors of an antarctic
night-that night which lasted for ten
weeks In which the Belgica lay -'clasped
In the ever-writhing but unrelenting .ce'
and during which fierce storms blew over
her During these weeks the brilliance OF
the moonlight or the weird glow of the
aurora austral occasionally lit up the
rough surface of the pack and the sheets
or level snow with lights and shadows more
cherries than the darkness itself That
darkness entered into the soul of the ships
company, depressing them more than tho
cold and more than the inadequate and I'M
inviting food. The grooming and crashing
of the ice In the blackness of the endless
night was a. horror to listen to- and the
sound could not be evaded. nor the dark
ness dispelled, nor the cold resisted OUT
side of the damp within. 1t is little wonder
that one Of the historians of the first
antarctic night described 1T as "hellish"
Yet 1t Is to this same region in which he
faced such danger and suffered such dis
comfort that M. Arctowski is preparing TO
return in the interest of science None but
one as enthusiastic as he is could be found
to leave the comforts of his home to I'M
dertake an expedition like this for a second
time.
