The achievements Of the Antarctic expedition
headed by Lieutenant Ernest II. Shackleton. OF the
British navy, which last week returned 10 New
Zealand bound add the interest in polar
exploration in general and in the Antarctic region
in particular Having reached q point within IL
miles the South Pole. it gives the explorers OF
the south a lead those who have sought the
location Of the other terminus the earth's axis.
Unless Dr. Cook has succeeded IN his attempt fur
thest north IS still point 23 miles distant from
the long sought goal where Peary's expedition Of
1905 turned back
In some respects doubtless the reason more has
been accomplished in the south than in the north
has been due TO the different conditions in the
regions. The more striking differences were well
illustrated by several Of the achievements and dis
coveries reported by Lieutenant Shsckieton- These
were the finding eight mountain chains, more
than one hundred mountain peaks and the ascent
Of Mount Erebus active volcano 1S.i3o feet high
All the indications that the site OF the South
Pole is plateau 5000 or u,ooo feet above sea
level. The mountains discovered ranged from 5000
10 12Ga0 feet in height, and demonstrated that Al
nine climbing and scenery could found in other
places the globe than Switzerland and British
Columbia Mount Markham, also in this region, is
more than 15coo feet high
\ Apparently there is all the difference in the
world" between the two poles, speaking hgura-
1iveiy IN respect physical conditions. All the
indications are that the North Pole is covered with
frozen spray dashed Up against il by the waves of
a polar sea or, il the spray freezes before II
dzshes up then the pole may be buried beneath
grinding icebergs. However that may be, the fact
apparently is that the North Pole is surrounded

seems TO surround the South Pole.
Commander Peary, in seeking his goal therefore
must make his way over field Ice, which may
shift with the currents OF the Polar Sea This
sea. being largely surrounded by land ana nav
ing comparatively narrow outlets TO the warmer
oceans the ice upon it is under immense pressure
and is forced up into ridges difficult for the explor-
er's sledge TO negotiate. The ice OF the Antarctic
region does not offer great obstacles OF this
nature for il flows the land Of the Antarctlc
Continent into a open on ali sides to the warm
currents from the tropics To this fact is attributed
by some explorers the smoother surface OF the zee
Of the southern polar region. In traversing TINS
