Roaltl Amundsen, the Norwegian Are;
tic explorer, who had reached Hobart,
Tasmania, in the From. from his South
Polar expedition, was successful or}
otherwise in his attempt to attain the,
South Pole. Amundsen's return to civi-'
lizatlou two weeks before he was ex-
pected has caused some surmise. This
was felt especially by the members oil
the British Royal Geographical Socie
tv,
thev had no news of Captain Amund-
sen except that contained in the news
paper dispatches recording his arrival
in Tasmania. it is pointed out by offi-
cials of the society that Captain Am-,
midsen intended to make a dash pure.
and simple to the South Pole, and that;
ho had no intention of carrying out,
any large program of‘ scientific work,
While no opinion can be formed;
whether his early return means sue-'1
cess or failure, it is considered likely}
that while he was risking all in his‘
dash to the south he may have pen
severed in sledge work throughout the,
winter and if favored by good weath-,
er and ice conditions may have achiev
ed results at any rate striking enough
to justify him in :making the journey
back earlier than he originally intend-
ed to do.
The first message with the definite
statement from Amundsen that Scott
had reached the South Pole was re-
ceived from Wellington, New Zealand,
by the Daily Express.

that Amundsen had returned and has
brought word of his leading opponent
reaching the coveted goal.
From a geographical and‘scienEfic
viewpoint the discovery of the South
Pole, while a momentous event, has
not the same features of importance
and danger as related to the North
Pole. The quest for the North Pole
has been through great fields of open
water and floating ice, whereas the
South Pole is situated on solid land.
Scores of navigators have perished in
the quest for the North Pole, but rela~
tivoly few in that for the South Pole.
