PROPOSED ROUTE FOR THE CROCKER LAND EXPEDITION 



Unexplored land is thought to exist north of western America. Admiral Peary believes 

 that he sighted sueli land — which he named "Crocker Land " — from Cai)e Colgate, when he 

 started over the ice on his successful dash to the pole. Also Dr. R. A. Harris of the United 

 States Coast and Geodetic Survey concludes from his study of Arctic tides that this land exists 



An expedition to map the unknown land will leave Sydney, Nova Scotia, in .luly, 1912 

 and proceeding through Raffln Hay will establish winter quarters on the south shore of 

 Flagler Sound. It will transi)ort siipi)lies by sledge to C^aiJC Thomas ITubl)ard during the 

 winter and from this point will contimie the journey acro.ss the ice to Crocker Land when the 

 dawn comes in the spring
