At the point of centralisation the reports will be assembled and correlated, making long-distance weather forecasts possible. The explorer, who will accompany Messrs. Lincoln Ellsworth and Bernt Balchen on an aerial expedition to the Antarctic this summer, plans a second submarine journey to the Arctic in 1934 or 1935. The study of weather conditions will be the objective of the far north journey.
