Ead the continent’s west northeastward from island, and coast sloping northern hunting grounds for their fur traders. The first two pushed across Canada westward, and bat- tered for a century at the barrier of mountains. But Peter the Great, of Russia, ordered an expedition from the Pacific Coast of Asia into an uncharted sea. The Russian expedition set sail from Siberia in |two small ships built with materials transportd acorss a continent. The St. Peter was commanded by a Dane in the Czar's service, Ivan Ivanovich Bering; the St. Paul, by Chirikov. In July, 1741, the long arm of Russian dominion touched a new coast in two places at practically the same time, for the ships had been separated. The lookout on Bering’s ship. sighted a mountain looming faintly above the horizon, and Russian America was discov- ered. The peak they called Mount St. Elias. The Commnader’s name marks one of the most spectacular features of the coastline he dis- covered—gigantic Bering Glacier. Survivors of Bering's last voyage eventually made their way back to Siberia with a small fortune in furs. Promptly fur traders, in small ships crudely built with rawhide thongs joining the planks instead of iron, swarmed along the island chains between the two continents.

The observations of |Dr. Russell pointed out also the route which, in 1897, led Prince Luigi, Duke of Abruzzi, to the first lascent of Mount St. Elias. The pioneer explorations spon- sored by the National Geographic Society were a prelude to work by the U. 8. Geological Survey. In mapping the mineral resources of the area, including coal and oil at Controller Bay, Copper River cop- {per, and gold at Yakataga Beach, the Survey pushed inland the front- jer of the unknown, outlined glac- |iers, discovered, named, and meas- ured mountains, and fought its way through areas so inaccessible that mapping cost $42 per square mile. |Steady progress of the Survey along the Copper River valley filled the map to the very foot of the moun- tains on the northwest. The region's southeastern edge was studied by the Harriman Al- aska Expedition at the close of the 19th century. John Muir, writer and naturalist, for whom Muir Glacier was named, was on the staff. | All inland exploration served to |prove that the lofty mountain ranges were made unapproachable by vast glaciers, covering between 15,000 and 20,000 square miles. In view of this fast, the National Geographic Society sponsored a three-year Armed might is Switzerland’s answer to the question of how long she can . maintain her neutrality. Lined up at the airdrome near Dubbendorf, where the tiny republic engaged in intensive maneuvers, are Swiss war. birds, ready for the air.
