Expedition 



Figure 1. — Baffin Bay, Davis Strait, and tbe waters around the Grand Banlss 

 embrace the iceberg regions of the western North Atlantic. The waters surveyed 

 by the Marion expedition in 1928 form a connecting link in the liistory of icebergs 

 from the time they leave the glaciers on the west side of Baffin Bay until they 

 finally melt in the Gulf Stream south of Newfoundland. The track of the Marion 

 from the time of leaving the Strait of Belle Isle until the arrival at St. Johns, 

 Newfoundland, is shown on the shaded area.
