This obstacle could be circumvented by plercing thé mountain ranges and ascending to tie plateau behind thems by way of a gia cler, afterwards descending to the sea again by another glacier. This system of exploration might be applied to any part of the Antarctic cogsts, but the region which Dr. Mae kay is most anxious to investigate is that lying between Craham Land and King Edward VII Land, and the dis tance, between these two places is roughly 2.006 miles. Dr. Mackay puts the average day's run at 10 miles. He believes thal 4 ship should bé able to land an exploring party ia Graham Land or Alexander I. Land about the beginning of December.
