Vilhjalmur Stefansson, famous
Arctic explorer, replied to the re-

the polar ice-cap.' There is no
polar ice-cap. There is one in
Greenland but not at the Pole.

territory he has had to become an
explorer to become a meteorologist.
Captain Wilkins said that he
will go to the Nautilus at New
London. Conn.,, today.
