POLAR EXPEDITION.
AIRCRAFT BEST MEANS. QUEST EXPERT’S VIEW. (Received August 4 at 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. August 3. Major Carr, the Quest’s air scout, says he believes the present .methods of Polar exploration are obsolete. In future, it would be done with aircraft during the summer months. This view has been formed, he says, as a result of the Quest’s cruise. He said:— 44 Few people realise the mildness of the Arctic and Antarctic summer. A German airship of the modern type is capable of doing the return trip to the North Pole from London within a week. Before long we will have Polar exploration, without the years of work and hardship.
