The Red Cross quickly set up an

were few. except for minor burns.
A larger blaze, still confined to

POLE DISCOVERY
OF Inaccessibility''
One And Second Mag
netic The Other
BY DAN L. THRAPP

United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, -W.H- The Russians,
indefatigable students of Arctic
geography, claim discovery and
conquest Of two new north poles.
An account published by the
Northern Sea Route Administration,
which has overall control Of Arctic
exploration and navigation, said
Soviet scientists had discovered
and studied the "Pole of Inaccessi-
tbility," and had confirmed the ex-
istence OF a second magnetic pole.
The "Pole of Inaccessibility" is a
phrase coined by the Canadian ex-
plorer, Viljalmur Stefansson. 1t has
no planetal Or magnetic signific-
ance. Rather, it is that general area
OF the Arctic most distant from any
inhabited land, and hence the most
difficult Of all parts Of the Arctic
to reach.
A spokesman for the Scott Polar
Institute at Cambridge University
said the term referred to the gen
eral area, perhaps on the other
side of the north geographical pole
from Greenland. That would be in
about latitude IS degrees north.
and somewhere between longitude
100 degrees east to 40 degrees
west.
Location Not Disclosed
The Russians did not disclose the
location Of the pole precisely, but
said an expedition visited it during
1941, when. according to the insti-
tute spokesman, they had 40 or so
expeditions out. The expeditions.
said the Soviet announcement, was
sent out by the Arctic Institute, a
subsidiary organization to the
Northern Sea Route Administra-
ton.
"The expedition established that
in the area of the "Pole of Inacces-
sibility," the ocean is from 5000 to
II, 1000 feet deep and not 81 ,349 feet,
as previously believed" the Rus
sian announcement said.
"North of the 18th parallel, the
spaces between the pack ice were
filled not only by younger ice, but
also by clear water. This confirmed
the prediction that rarified ice and
clear water should be found in the
of the pole of Inaccessible
Many explorers have crossed the
area of inaccessibility, but the re-
gion is so difficult to reach that no
party except the Soviet group has
