Amundsen was amazed at the ex ploits of Hammer when he learned | of them Wednesday. “It is remarkable; it is a valuable contritution to the scientific know! edge of the polar regions,” Amund. | sen said. “Hammer has established | that Jt is perfectly feasible to fly | over the pole and that landings can | be made on the ice floss; I am highly pleased.” Amundsen said that he cannot an- nounce his plans next summer un-| | Ul he has been assured that the fi nances of the undertaking will be| jeared for. “It all depends upon the finances of the expedition,” he said Amundeen declared that industrial jconditions in Norway are in such} a bad state that he cannot ask the | Norwegian government to finance} | the expedition, “I have no right to ask it of my | government at this time." he added. | While flying in the barren wastes north of Spitzbergen, Hammer took more than 100 photographs of the country he flew over. His remark-| able pictures, the first ever taken | from an airplane in the Aretic| wastes, show huge mountain ranges, innumerable glaciers, stretches of open water and vast ice fields. Hammer has more than 100 colar- ed slides of the territory and his| friends here are urging that be give | a lecture showing the pictures and | telling of his experiences. One fight jhe made covered several hundred miles. It was a seven-hour non-| | stop flight Hammer declared that attacks made upon him in Norwegian pa- pers, accusing him of disloyalty to| his chief, were untrue.
