By JOHN L. COOLEY (A. P. Science 'Editor) (Copyright, 1928, Associated I'rw.{\i NEW YORK, Aug. 14—Five| scientists are going to Antar a rd expedition to make| meteorological, gla- | zoological and other studies in a large area of the lit-| tle-known south polar region. The entire expedition, it mluhli be said, is built aroudd these men, for Commander Byrd's chief pur-j pose is to extend man’s knowledge of the ice-ridden land that reach-| es around the bottom of the world. | Antarctica’s area is 000,600 square miles, of which 4,- 600,000 square miles are virtually unexplored. With the aid of the airplane the| scientists hope to be able to flv over vast stretches of the conti-| nental plateau never before seea,| thereby making important addi.} tions tq the map, = Théy will alsp use the plane in establishing scien- | tific stations in the interior. | The geologists of the party are| L. M. Gould, professor of geolo-| gy at the University of Michigan,| and John O'Brien, assistant, o. Minneapolis. Their theatre of operations will be King Edward| VII Land, which they hope to map, at least in part, for the first time.| They will study the mountain ranges that cross this district,! paying particular attention to thc! trend of the elevations, their struc- tures and their possible relation- ship to the Andes of South Ameri- ca and the mountains of New Zea- land. Gould and O'Brien also will seck specimens of rocks and fossils. If | the latter are to be found, they will be of inestimable value in de- termining whether life ever exist. ted in Antarctica, what the conti- nent's. climatic history has been, the chances of a change in cli- mate and whether Antarctica was ever connected with South Ameri. ca, South Australia and New Zea- land. Their instruments are specially designed and adapted for the ex- tremely low temperature that will be encountered, even during the summer months. ‘Transportation for the mapping ‘and exploration work will probab- ly be provided for the most part by the“dog sledge. At times the two geologists will be far afield, but they hope to maintain radio communication with the main base on the Ross Sea ice barrier. Ralph F. Sropshire of New York and “Frank T. Davies of McGill University are the party’s experts on oceanography, hydrography, magnetism, photomicroscopy, solar radiation, glaciology and the au- rora australis, which is the south polar counterpart of the aurora borealis. | ) Gl Shropshire, as oceanographer, will start work as*soon as the ex- pedition steamer Samson sails on her long pull across the southern ocean from Dunedin, New Zealand. He will make a collection of sur- face and sub-surface marine life and will take soundings with a sonic depth finder, determining not only the depth of the water and character of the ocean bottom, but also the salinity and temperature. Bottles are to be tossed into:the sea to point the direction of the ocean currents. Tne plans for the magnetic studies on the contiment include at least one trip, either by plane or by sledge, to the south magnet- ic pole. Field work in magne- tism will be undertaken from as many stations as possible, while a year will be spent in accumulat- ing records of magnetic intensity, horizontal ‘ intensity and declina- tlon. These measurements will be obtained with a magentograph roughly 5. | . which is to be set up in-a non- at the base magnetic building . camp, | clety. jopen this afternoon Speetro o3 tho aurora aus have been made, but Shropshire and Davies nope to ‘do important work in this field, correlating their observations with the magnetic data Davies, as physicist, will study the structure of the continental ice cap. He also will gdther in- formation on the radiation of sky and earth, the radial activity of now and ice, the auroral pheno- me and the slow movement of glaciers. | William C. Haines, the meteorol- ogist, has joined the expedition through the cooperation -of the United States weather bureau, with which he is connected, and of the National Geographic So-! He will make surface ob- gervations of the air temperatures at the base camp and afield and will study cloud movements, visi-| bility and upper air conditions. He will send pilot balloons aloft for atmospheric velocity soundings. Meteorographs installed on the airplanes will give him ' tempera- ture. soundings of- the: higher air.
