NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
IS STEFANssON's WORK
Explorers and Gcographers Direct
Attention TO New Land He
Discovered.
NEAR PRINCE PATRICK ISLAND
Also Completes Charting of North
east Coast Line of This Island,
Which Had Not Been Covered in
Previous Surveys.

NEW YORK, September lS.-Satis
fed ny vilhjalmar Steganssons an
nouncement thnt ne is alive and well
on Banks Land in tn. Arctic. explorers
and georraphers directed attention 20
the new land he reports he had dis
covered in the Far North.
In Stefansson's own report tho newly
discovered land is located near IS de-
erees north. latitude III degrees west
longitude He actually saw about 700
miles OF coas, line running in an
eastcrly direction. and apparcntly pee
tratinc TO a distance twenty miles in
land. where. from hilltop. the oX-
plorcr saw mountains at a distance
of nifty miles.
Cyrus c Adams. president Of Ale
Association Of Americans Geographcrs.
declared in statement to-day that
S,efansson's new land lies about 100
miles to the north Of Prince Patrick
land. and that tho most southcriy
part Of the land which the explorer
visited Is ConSlutEdh!N 10 'ilc cast W
the mos, eastward extension of Prince
Patrick Island. The lands nearest to
IT, Mr. Adams said, are tho Polynia
Islands a little group north OF Prince
Patrick Island, about seventy-hve or
eighty miles from the new land.
SHOWS ARCTIC OCEAN
COMPARATIVELY SHALLOW
MIR Adams said the most northern
uart Of the new land, as far MS Stefans-
son saw It, appears TO he further north
.hsn any other land in tho great Parry
ArchiDelaco. to the north of the Amcri-
can continent Mr. Adams expressed
the opinion that the land discovered
nv Stefansson rises from tho CONT
rental shelf In shallow waters that
surround tho Parry Archipelago. and
that it's discovery shows that this part
Of the Arctic ocean is comparatively
shallow.
Mr. Adams also pointed out that an
other notable achievement was Stcfnns-
sons completion OF the charting Of tho
northeast coast OF Prince Patrick
Island There was n stretch Of some
fifty miles Of this coast line which had
rot been covered in previous surveys,
but the gap now has been filled.
The expedition was undertaken by
Stcfansson TO test the theories which
had been set forth by DR. hansen and
others that the uncXplored portion of
the Arctic Ocean is n deep basin viz
tually devoid OF land. Other explorers
had asserted that land of considerable
area lay undiscovered there.
