led the way. The sleds with light loads
followed. The surface vibrated as We
moved along but the spiked handle of
the ice axe did not easily pass through.
For about two miles we walked with an
easy tread and considerable anxiety,
but we had all been on similar ice be-
fore and We knew that with a ready
line and careful watchfulness there
was no great danger. A cold bath,
however, in that temperature, forty de-
grees below, could have had some seri-
Gus consequences. In two crossings all
our supplies were safely landed on the
north shores and from there the lead
had much more picturesque aspect.
For a time this huge separation in
. the pack was a mystery to me. At first
sight there seemed to be no good rea-
son for it's existence. Peary had found
a similar break north of Robson chan
mel. 1t seemed likely that what we saw
was an extension of the same lead fol-
lowing at distance the general trend
of the northernmost land extension
This is precisely what one finds on a
smaller scale whenever two packs come
together. Here we have the pack of
the central polar sea meeting the land
ice. The movement of the land ice
pack is intermittent and usually along
the coast. The shadows, grounded ice
and projecting points interfere with
steady drift. The movement of thu
central pack is quite constant and al
most in every direction.
The tides, the currents and the winds
each give momentum to the floating
mass. This lead is the breaking line
between the two bodies of ice. 1t wfdens
as the pack separates narrows or
widens with an easterly or westerly
drift, according to the pressure of the
central pack. Early in the season when
the pack is little crevassed and not
elastic it is probably wide; later as the
entire sea of ice becomes active it may
