On these expeditions he made a
fun study Of ice and ice conditions.
He then evolved the theory which
brought him the honor Of discovering
the aphic pole Throwing aside
every tradition Of arctic exploration,
he decided 10 make his dash for the
pole In midwinter. He figured that
his progress would not be blocked
nearly SO often by open lanes in the
ice and his progress would therefore
be more regular This would be OF
great advantage IN feeding the dogs
and the few Eskimos ne intended
carrying as his companions
He also reckoned that the slight
difference In the cold would not seri-
ously affect either himself or his com.
panions. and as his direction would
have TO be computed by instruments
he cared nothing for the lack of light.
