Hitberto Dr HaraId Sverd,1Ir of
tho Maud expedifion has shown that
there exists no unknown land between
tho Pole and Eastern Siberia. Both
results arc in contradiction with the
theory Or tho socalled Harris Land
This theory is built on tho basis Of
tidal observations and supposes the
existence OF large stretch Of land
north Of WranGeN Island
There exists no such land. Instead.
We have a deep, recovered ocean,
extending from Spitzbergen 10 Alaska.
