The Value of Antarctic Exploration 



I know of no general account stressing the scientific 

 value of polar exploration, though the subject is touched 

 upon in most polar books. H. R. Mill's The Siege of the 

 South Pole (London, 1905), is the best introduction to a 

 study of Antarctica. Mawson in the Geographical Journal 

 (June, T911), stresses the structural interest. His chap- 

 ter in Problems of Polar Research (New York, 1928), 

 is very suggestive. The whole of this latter book, in fact, 

 should be read by every student. The present writer in his 

 With Scott, the Silver Lining (London, 191 6), has en- 

 deavored to give in popular language some account of the 

 many problems tackled by his scientific colleagues and 

 himself in the Antarctic. 



Chapter II 



Exploring Antarctic Seas 



The author has turned to original volumes where pos- 

 sible. Heawood's Geographical Discovery (Cambridge, 

 1921), is useful. The Siege of the South Pole is excellent 

 for an account of exploration up to 1904. The claims of 

 Wilkes are discussed by Balch in Antarctica (Philadel- 

 phia, 1902). See also J. K. Davis' With the Aurora 

 (London, 1919). The Antarctic Manual, published by 

 the Royal Geographical Society (London, 1901), gives 

 the logs (or important extracts) of Biscoe, Balleny,
