Sir E. Shackleton and five members of his expedition are going to Norway glaciers where the blizzards similar to those in the Antarctic are common. They will test the motor sledges and will wear Polar kits and exist on sledging rations.
The vessel Endurance arrives at London this month. The Aurora will be delivered at Hobart at the end of August and sail for the Antarctic in November. Most of the expedition will sail by the Endurance in August.
