The Bird expedition ships, which reached Little America on January 15. found the Bay of Whales frozen over and its entrance the smallest ever seen. The ice-breaker North Wind immediately began breaking up the ice to permit ships to enter and moor in the bay. The Little America camp was sighted and apparently is little changed, although it has moved 1¼ miles east with the movement of the great glacier since 1941, when the camp was established.—New York, January 17.
