It has been further north

the northern tip of Ellesmere-
than any other ship in history
This year. because of some
phenomenon that weather men
and ice Projectors do not under
stand. the ice it has bucked has
been thicker and harder than
before. One cause is probable
influx of water from the polar
ocean surrounding the North
Pole into Baffin Bay and the
Foxe Basin east Of Greenland.
Polar Stream
There is at least a suggestion
that q polar stream in some
way has broken through. but
several years will be necessary
to confirm such a hypothesis.
The particular area in which
Capt. William ]. Conley. jr., and
his crew of veteran ice men
operate is the Baffin ice pack.
1t extends outward from $50
miles of indented coast and is
generally recognized as the
worst in the Arctic. The pack
sometimes is covered with hum
mocks from 8 to 10 feet high.
1t looks like a miniature noun
tain range.
The ice that Capt. Conley
encountered this year is ten
tenths ice-as hard as ice can
get. 1t extended far to the
south where it presumably was
carried by the Labrador cur
rent. 1t required an exception
ally long time for the West
Wind and the Navy icebreaker
Edisto. to open up the harbor
of the big Air Forces station at
Goose Bay, Labrador, through
which most traffic coming north
must pass.
Ice 5 feet thick was en-
countered in the harbor at
Southeastern, a Greenland air
base where an international
Pathological expedition now is
assembling. and was not until
July 4 that the West Wind was
able to plough a road for a
cargo ship in Thule.
Reason for Hardness
The reason for the ex-
ceptional hardness. equivalent
to that of rocks. is due to the
pressure of winds and currents
against it. driving it in a solid
mass against the shore lines.
Only now. much later than
usual, is rotten ice" beginning
to appear in the center of the

and below.
