Expedition to the canadian arctic

ABSTRACT AN expedition, organised by the Oxford University Exploration Club with the full support of the Royal Geographical Society and the Canadian Government, is sailing shortly for

Ellesmere Land in the Canadian Arctic, under the leadership of Dr. Noel Humphreys. The plans of the Expedition are to leave London in July in a sealer chartered from Norway and to winter in

Ellesmere Land, next spring being devoted to an exploration of Northern Ellesmere Land. The interior is unexplored and a geological survey of this country will be the chief scientific work

undertaken. The Expedition is financed partly by its members and partly by scientific societies and individual subscribers. The greater part of the food supply has been obtained free owing

to the generosity of a number of firms. The Expedition will consist of five or six members, but a geologist is still urgently required. Besides being physically fit and prepared to be away

from England for a year, he should have had some field experience. Communications referring to the Expedition should be addressed to Mr. E. A. A. Shackleton, Oxford University Ellesmere Land
