Economic Council of the Soviets ceded
the islands of the Spitzbergen group
and Bear Island to Norway. Canada
lays claim to all islands in the North
American Arctic archipelago.
Whatever land may be discovered In
the region north OF Alaska, unex-
plored by Amundsen, win probably be
claimed by the United States. (Amund-
son, however, found no land.) For
the present most of these lands are un-
exploitable and practically worthless.
But with the development of air trans
port and special technique for deal
ing with Arctic conditions, they may
in the future prove to be very val
table. Spitzbergen, for example, work
able only six months a year, proves a
good source of supply for coal to
Norway.
Not So Cold THERE are many mis-
at the Pole. conceptions current
about Arctic climate.
While in most sections of the far
north it is, of course, bitterly cold In
the long dayless winter, in the sum
mer, when for six months there is no
night, considerable heat is distributed,
making a climate quite as warm at
times as in Atlantic City. What b
more, contrary to popular belief, the
pole is not the coolest place in the
north. The long summer, the rare at
mosphere, and the existence under the
six or eight-foot ice pack of compare
lively warm water from the Atlantic
and Pacific causes the Thermometer at
the very pole to approach at times 80
degrees above zero.

that the great feat was accomplished.
For the first time man stood on the
spot where there is no latitude, no
longitude, and where all directions are
south.
Equally epochal were the many at
tempts to reach the South Pole. The
quest started centuries later than the
search Of the North and the hardships
of Antarctic travel are even worse
than in the Arctic. Mountainous
islands, great glaciers, treacherous
open lanes and yawning crevasses
make Antarctic exploration much more
difficult. Road Amundsen was the
first to conquer the bottom Of the
world. A year later Capt. Robert Scott
also reached the South Pole. A ia
nous explorer, Shackleton, who had
made several remarkable trips into the
Antarctic interior, made his last in
1921, expiring with his men from lack
of provisions and exhaustion.

trip to the North Pole. They were

planes and it was not until after 20

were able to free one Of the planes

Andree. IN 1897, who started on In a

less bodies were paid for countless eff
forts to find the new route. But the
Northwest Passage was not found un-
til 1906. The man who ultimately
made the journey from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, the first inter-ocean sea
voyage north of Magellan, was none
other but the hardy Norskman, Roald
Amundsen. His little ship battled the
ice for three years before it pointed
its battered nose into Bering Straits.

Arctic exploration oc-
Cured following the ill-fated expedi-
tion of Sir John Franklin, an English
man, in 1845. With no word from
Franklin for three years, anxiety be-
gan to be felt and ship after ship was
sent in search of the baronet and his
party. While no trace of Franklin and
his crew save the crushed remains of
one of his two ships was ever found,
the searching parties, sailing the Arc
tic for years, added 1000 miles of
coast line to the map of the polar
region.
Only few Of the many famous ex-
petitions following this can be men
toned here. In 1879 Lieutenant De
Long of the United States Navy COM
manded the Jeanette" as it sailed
into Bering Strait to cut its way thru
to Norway. The craft was wrecked in
the ice OF the coast OF Siberia. In
attempting to make back to civiliza-
tion in small boats De Long and two
Of his crew perished, the rest being
saved. But the expedition was inVal-
liable, not because Of what IT found,
but because OF what happened later.
Years afterward the wreckage Of the
Jeanette" was found OF the coast Of
Greenland-proving that the Atlantic
and the Pacific exchanged currents
