MODERN
Equipment To Be Used In
Expedition
To The South POIe---InCIudes
The Wireless

Wireless and a modified aeropIane
win be used by Sir Ernest ShackIeton
in his forthcoming expedition to the
Anarctic continent. BY such means he
proposes to keep in touch with his
bases OF supplies, and also to have
communication with Sydney, more
than 1000 miles distant. Starting
on the Atlantic side, the exploring par
~ will cross the frozen continent,
which is considerably larger than Eu-
rope, emerging on Ross Sea, LOO
miles in a straight line from the first
base. Here a second ship will await
them, near Amundsen's base on the
great ice barrier. The explorer win
determine whether the Victorian range
crosses the Antarctic continent and
lies in the direction of the Andean
range.
Shackleton has adopted motor
sledge, equipped with aerial propeller
and short planes or wings, which it is
believed will give sufficient lifting
power to enable the heavily laden
sledges to cross the soft ice and snow
with their burden of more than a ton
of supplies, at rate of six miles an
hour. The practical value of these
aero-ice gliders has been demonstrate
ed during the past winter in Siberia
and Canada, and they are expected to
render efficient aid in establishing
and maintaining advanced supply sta
tions along the route.
Both ships attached to the expedi-
ton will burn oil and are proyisioned
for two years. They carry complete
wireless apparatus and will keep CON
stantly in touch with the exploration
party throughout the trip. This con-
stant communication with the party
end with the station on the opposite
side of the Antarctic continent, will
make it possible to render aid in case
OF storms or accident, while communi-
cation with the world, through the
wireless station at Sydney, will apprise
civilization of the progress made and
give the news of the world to the mem
bers of the expedition.-Popular Me-
