Abstract

"News From High Latitudes" includes brief reports or correspondence on a number of expeditions or scientific research efforts in both the North American Arctic and the Antarctic. Much of the information is related to ice navigation and marine transportation of personnel, equipment and supplies for the manning of research stations and weather stations in both the Arctic and Antarctic, for drilling of oil in northern Alaska, and the construction of a new ice-strengthened ship for supplying Canadian Eastern Arctic settlements.
