Ia les PLANES IN TRa4
TO THE ARCTIC REGION
Captain Amundsen Expects to Reach
North Pole by Air Route-Will
Carry Provisions for Years.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 23.-Final pro-
visioning and equipping Of the ex-
ploring ship Maud, in which Captain
Ronald Amundsen, noted Norwegian
explorer and discover, of the South
Pole will resume his interrupted Arc
tic expedition next May, is being
completed as the stout little ship lies
in the land-locked waters of Lake
Union here.
A smashed propeller blade, lost in
the ice off the Northeastern Siberian
coast, last year forced Captain AM
undscn to bring the Maud to Seattle
for repairs. When the journey is re-
sumed the vessel will carry four ex-
ira blades so that a similar accident
may cause only a temporary halt to
the expedition. The Maud will carry
provisions for seven years, although
the explorer does not expect the trip
to occupy more than five years at the
most.
The most important of the Maud's
equipment, in Captain Amundsen's
opinion, will be the two airplanes,
purchased in Norway and shipped
here recently and which will be used
in the making of extensive geograph-
ic and photographic surveys for a
thousands miles on either side of the
vessels track through the northern
seas. The primary purpose of the
expedition, which is operating under
the auspices of the Norwegian gov
eminent, is to study the movement
of the Arctic ice pack, the effect of
ocean currents, magnetic influences
and other phenomena of the polar
regions. The airplanes, Captain
Amundsen expects, will be of great
value in this work. He said that he
would probably use them to reach
the North Pole should his plan to
drift past the pole with the ice pack
prove not feasible A wireless equip
ment installed aboard the Maud will
be used to broadcast message when
he reaches the top Of the world.
Captain Amundsen expects TO
strike Immediately into the outward
or northern drift of the ice as it
leaves Boring Sea next spring, and to
swing with the northeasterly current
early in the summer
With the explorer, will be Captain
Oskar Visiting, sailing master, who
stood at his side ION" the South Pole;
G. Olonkin, engineer; DR.. H. V. Sver-
drup, scientists of the expedition, two
Norwegian aviators and a crew of
six Siberian natives who joined the
Maud in 1920.
