48 ' ELLESHERE ISLAND . LISTARCTI LAND on Polar Expedition This Summer. “Ellesmere Island. the second nea eat known land to the North Pole. is to get the closest scrutiny it has ever had by white men as one result of the MacMillan Arctic expedition.” says a bulletin from the Washington head quarters of the National Geographic Society ““This land lies at the head of Baffin Bay, the broad water high. way to the Artic which is inclosed on one side by Greenland and on the other by Baffin Island,” continues the hulletin. William Baffin, for whom the bay and island are named, was the first white man to catch a glimpse of the unknown land which me later to be called Ellesmere Island. That was in 1616: but it was only a glimpse, and other Arctic explorers were so long in | north | duplicating Baffin's farthest 1hat there came to be serious doubt of the existence of Ellesmere Island. FExistence Doubted Two Centuries. ““The land was nof sighted again un 1) 1852. The frsi white man to set foot on it was Dr. Hayes, a member of Kane's expedition in 1854. After Haves explored an isolated section of the shore the land gradually emerged from the traditional into the real: but s in otherof the northern discoveries, different explorers discovered various headlands and peninsulas indepen dently and dubbed each a ‘land.’ Hayes' portion, the east coast of the north central section of the big lIs. land. hecame ‘( nnell Land The north end. along the Polar Sea. be- came ‘Grant Land.' Other names which have stuck to localities of Elles. mere Island are ‘North Lincoln paradoxically the southernmost por tion-—King Oscar Land Bear Cape land’ and ‘Jesup Land.’ Ellesmere Island lacks only about 50 miles of being the known land in the world. that tinction being held by the north point of Greenland. (fape Morris Jesup, not far to the east. Ellesmere Island’s northernmost point. Cape Columbia, is famous as the starting point of Peary on his memorable dash to the North Pole in 1908, From Cape Columbia, Ellesmere Island extends 500 miles to the south, its southernmost point heing still nearly 400 miles north than Point Barrow. Alaska, and 2.000 miles farther north than the United States-Canada boundary. Cut by Fiords. “Ellesmere Island is the point of 300 miles wide at greatest width. but 50 to miles apart be covered quickly by dog teams These fiords. reaching toward each other from the opposite sides of the island, mark out the two or three youtes that have been used so far by expeditions crossing the island. It follows, therefore. that Ellesmere Is. land is known chiefly along three narrow bands: one between Grant “Land and Grinnell Land, one near the middle of the island an da thrid toward the south end. Explorers have also traversed the entire coast of the island. The southern coast, covered by Sverdrup in 1899, was the last of the coastland to come under close scrutiny. ‘Despite the fact that ixland is perhaps better known than ANy of the other Arctic lands north of North America. knowledge of it is confined larg to the coasts and the fiord crossings. Extensive areas of the interior are still unknown or imperfectly mapped and no careful surveys have been made of any of the regions. The planes of the Mac- -Millan__expedition will repeatedi rross Ellesmere Island this Summer In establishing the advanced base in Axel Heiberg Land. and equipped map-making cameras will make de- 1atied records of the terrain.

Greely was the first to discover » pass inland into Ellesmere Island in 1882 when his expedition was stationed at Fort Conger, on Lady Franklin Bay He found a large fresh water lake, and west of it, over a small divide, a broad ice-free valley teading 1o the west.
