mitted that Captain Scott must be some
where near his cherished goal by this
time, and news that lie had succeeded in
reaching the south pole would not be
surprising.
Colonel Robert Falcon Scott OF the
British royal navy is at the head OF an
expedition which included sixty men,
twenty Siberian dogs and two motors,
which left England In July, 1910, on the
Terranova. His plans for the journey
from King Edwards Land to the pole in

ponies were TO he taken in sufficient
numbers to insure a thoroughly adequate
amount Of food being carried 10 the base

Tor three years were carried.
In January, 1911, Captain Scott and his
comrades went south to establish depots,
later returning to New Zealand All
through the summer II intended TO make
the final preparations for the last dash
toward the pole. which was to bc carried
out at the end OF the year.
Four other expeditions now are in the
Antarctic, each of them with a view TO
attaining the south pole
The most important OF these is consid =
cred TO be that of the Norwegian. Cap
tain Roald Amundsen. who is utilizing
the Fran, the celebrated polar ship
which Or. Fridtjof Nansen used in his
explorations In the Arctic ocean from
1893 10 1896.

Another expedition is that OF the Aus

members Of the Shackelton expedition.
The vessel used by him is the Aurora,
which left Australia in November. 1910.
