EXPLORING ANTARCTICA
ELLSWORTH LOOKS AHEAD.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Recd. April 27. 1 p.m.) NEW YORK, April 26
A North American Newspaper Alliance Copyright message says: Ellsworth in November. 1938, will make a flight to Enderby Land, Bay of Whales, over 2500 miles of unknown area, ostensibly rich in geographic, geologic and economic surprises. The Earp will be re-outfitted in Norway, and will load a new aeroplane in the United States.
Ellsworth, who is joining the ship at Cape Town, said the area, was claimby Australia by virtue of coastal discoveries.
Asked whether it was worth risking life on such exploration, he explained that exploration was his career, but the Antarctic is land, and land, wherever it be, is valuable. Who can say the day will not return when Antarctica will again become tropical, and a continent emerge which will be the hope of the world.
