Is there . anything to be gained, other than the satisfaction of their curiosity and the lure o:G adyenture, which justifies to any reasonable degree the unending hardships they suffer, not to mention the enormous costs Involved and the long months of preparation and study necessary Hen before a start is made? ' Most of us regard a polar dash as a spectacular stunt, full of thrills for the few who engage In lt and anxiety and uneasiness for those who r~maln at home. 'Vhat's the use of exploring and chartIng new territory whose area Is more than a million square miles If this land Is only to be found burled under tons o~ Ice centuries old? It Is ob"t'ious, however, with three costly expeditions planned and one already In the field that 1here is some sound reason behind all this effort, something more important than the charting of that spot on the map which now Is a blank marked "Unknown Area." From John Tilghman Rowland, fellow of the American Geographical society, writing In the New Yorl' Herald-Triuune, comes some very logical reasons concerning the Importance of polar exploration. He believes that we who live In North America have a vital Interest In these great adventures. A hundred years from now he intimates, It is not unlikely that historians w111 view these expeditions in the same light that we now regard ~ the epochal voyages of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries, when Columbus and Magellan, as well as many other daring navigators, discovered those more temperate parts of the earth, paved the way for colonization and thus changed the history of the world. '"e must realize that the age we live In is an age of rapid transportation, both of persons and things, and ideas. Distances have been annihilated by man's Ingenuity, and journeys which not so long ago were reckoned In days and weeks are now thought of in terms of hours and days. It took our forefathers thirty days to cross the Atlantic; we speed acros& It today in from five to ~;even days In luxurious ocean palaces, or hop aC'ross in an airplane In less than two days. The harriers between nations have been broken down, and man finds the world today a much smaller · place tl1an the world of yesterday. Now ::'.Ir. Rowland asks us to glance for a moment at the above map, which, although not drawn accurately to scale, wlll serve our purpose. Do :von notice how all the countries of the northern hemisphere are grouped around the Arctic ocean? 'There's Russia (Siberia) and Canada facing each other across the diameter of the Arctic ocean. Ordinarily we think of them as being widely separated. The tip of Alaska nearly 'Louches Siberia. Norway and Sweden, by this route, finJ themseh·es not at all so distant from the Far East " as they have hitherto suppose() . It's really just a hop over that part of the horizon which lies under the pontoons of the larger airplane In the above picture. Thu.,;, the Arctic ocean Is truly a new ::'.Iediterrane::m, geologically as old as time; 'hut strikingly nPw as a factor In the affairs ot men. On thi~ ocean Europe, Asia and America all have frontr,ge, which, If the climate of the Arctic were reversed, would have been bordered long w' th thriving cities and shipping centers. this ocean free of ice so that It offered stncles to the passage of ships. Immediately trade routes would be opened. Vessels, both freight and passenger, which now ply between European ports and those of Asia via the Suez and Panama canals or around the Cape of Good Hope, plowing through endless miles of the world's widest oceans, would take a new short-cut across the top of the world. Sailing northward between ·:., Gre~nland and Spitsbergen, they would steam quickly across some place not far from the pole and descend Into the Behring strait. After holdIng their course southward for a few days they would reach the ports of Korea, China, and Japan.
