| In the five years he spent on the ex-
petition Stefansson killed nearly sixty
tons OF meat. He travelled twenty
] miles for every one travelled by Amund-
sen, Peary or any other explorer and
mapped large part of the country.
The maps of the top of the world,
he says, are grossly inaccurate. Riv-
ers which are marked on the charts
have no existence in fact, and noun
tain ranges appear where the country
should be fiat. He found Amundsen's
maps, however, very useful and gener-
ally correct.
The Indians in the region in which
he travelled provide for themselves
with primitive weapons. The unhunt.
ed animals, he says, have no more
chance against rife than d mosquito
would have against pile driver.
Scientifically, the work was divided
between himself and DR.. Anderson.
Stefansson did the mapping and the
anthropologica sand chronological tasks,
while DR.. Anderson took care of the
biological, botanical and geological
tasks. > ....- '.-. 49,,
