BARTLETT TO START NEXT SUMMER I
TO DRIFT ACROSS ARCTIC OCEAN
\i
Arrangements for the American
polar expedition to be headed by
Cr.pt. Robert A. Bartlett, Peary’s
navigator on Ilia dash to the north
pole, having progressed to a point
where it is possible that the expedi
tion, which is to be similar to an
other lead by Capt. Roald Amundsen,
discoverer of the south pole, may get
away next summer.
Rear Admiral Peary, who returned
recently from New York, where he
ci nferred with Amundsen and Rart
lett, understands that sufficient money
has been subscribed privately to carry
through the expedition, which probably
will cost about $200,000. Amundsen's
expedition is being organized in Nor
way and will cost about as much
Both will be prepared to stay In the
lee from three to five years to make a
scientific study of physical conditions
in the central polar regions. Starting
from different points, the expeditions
intend to drft across the North Polar
Ocean and possibly may meet or pass
Both explorers will have- new ships
bu'lt expressly for their work, Amund
sen’s in Norway, Bartlett’s on the Pa
cific coast, Both will use aeroplanes
and have the active cooperation of the
Aero Club of America in forming their
equipment of aeroplanes and aviators.
Bartlett’s American expedition will
enter the polar ocean by way of Ber
ing Strait3, Amundsen will enter by
the route north of Norway and tlie
Kara Sea.
Ai rangemonts will be made for oo
! oidinatton of the scientific observa
i nuns of the two cxpdltions. With the
ud id their aviation equipment they1
may lie able to complete the geo
graphical reconnolsance of the entire
j North i’olar Ocean, ap t it is possible j
that in the event of tho crushing ot j
eitlior one of the ships by ice the!
aeroplanes may be instrumental in I
enabling one crew to reach the other [
ship by establishing direct communl- !
j i. liens and carring supplies.
Admiral Peary said yesterday that
in considered the expeditions wore
under the comamnd of two of the
most famous and experienced of living |
Iidar navigators and presented pos- i
sibilities of great scientific impor- I
tioace.
It the work of the aeroplanes is .sat
isfactory, it would make possible the ,
ciicuinnavlgation of the globe via the
two poles by ships and aeroplanes, as
was- predicted by Admiral Peary a ,
f< w years ago.
Admiral Peary hopes that after I'
Capt .Bartlett returns successful from jj
this expedition conditions may be
favorable for sending out an Ameri
can national antarctic expedition un
der his command to explore the A
merlcan half of the autarctlc regions,
and secure for American scientists
the valuable material existing there. [
