Birthday of Ice veteran
A birthday message has been sent from Americans and New Zealanders in the Antarctic to Mr H. B. Evans, who lives in Vermilion, Alberta, and who will celebrate his ninety-ninth birthday tomorrow. Mr Evans went to the continent in the Southern Cross with C. E. Borchgrevink’s expedition of 1889 to 1900, and he was a member of the Cape Adare party, the first to spend a winter in the Antarctic. In the message, signed jointly by the commander of the United States Navy Antarctic Support Force (Captain A. N. Fowler) and the Scott Base leader (Mr H. W. E. Jones), was an account of the visit to the Cape Adare campsite—Antarctica’s oldest base—in January by two members of the New Zealand Antarctic research expedition—Messrs L. Cairns, of Nelson, and S. Norman, of Tongariro.
