great area of ocean more or less
covered with ice. Greenland's most
northern area, Peary Land, anu
Grant Land which lies to the west,
push themselves out nearest the
Pole.
Why Polar Travel Is Hard
"If, from cape Co1upbia, on the
northern shore of Grant Land, the
| Arctic Ocean would freeze over in o.
solid smooth block during the
months Of dead winter, intrepid ex-
plorers could probably push their
dog sleds ove to the.Pole with less
difficulty and danger. The area of
the ocean. instead. is covered with
innumerable foes OF cakes Of ice.
These surge back and forth, buck
Ling UP and piling upon each other
until they form ridges fifty or sixty
feet high which crack and break
with the current of the water and
the velocity of the winds.
Though there is always water
| present, The lanes between the ice
blocks are not wide enough for
ships to sail through, but they often
make it impossible for men walking
or making their way by dog sled to
get back to safety after they have
left their boats. This condition is
encountered even in mid-winter

whose magic breath brings heat and
| life to regions which would other-
wise be cold and barren, thaws out
some Of the ice in the northern At
lantic where it merges with the
Arctic Ocean, thus permitting boats
in the waters of Greenland and the
Scandinavian countries to penetrate
further north than is possible on the
Pacific side. Polar explorers have
taken advantage of this fact by
pushing northward on this side
rather in the vicinity of Boring
Strait.

The famous Northeast Passage,
through which Nansen was able to
drift in the Fran within less than
five degrees of the Pole, extends
from the New Siberian Islands off
the northern coast of Siberia over
to the Greenland Sea. Whalers
have been able to explore every
sound and inlet along the western
coast of Spitzbergen and ever plant
summer colonies there due to the
influence Of the Gulf Stream. but no
polar employers have attempted to
