Stefansson Plans to
Develop Arctic Regions
Vilhjalmcp Stefansson, Arctic ex
plorer, has announced thelabnndonment
of his career as an explorer.- He will
devote his efforts to proving that the
aorthi polar ocean will sooc be crossed t
by -a met work of commercial aviation
-outer -and' that the Arctic regions,
hitherto known as uninhabitable lands,
will develop resources of great magni
tude, i
“J am through- with exploring,5" he
declared to the Associated Press. “11
will devote myself seriously to the a bo- |
litiomof the polar’region. The-aura o? j
mystery surrounding the.north is a pal! j
t>f ignorance.”
Stefansson said that his decision was ;
prompted- by aconvictiou that the age j
t>f exploration of tho north was now to :
yield to the age o' commercial develop
aaett He felt, he said, that bo should
give up exploring -wfeMe he was still
young enough so develop his new ca
reer as a “prouagandist” of the north.
Exploring was a young man’s game, he
added.
“My expeditions to tne Arctic,** he
declared, ‘'were like those of Lewis
and G’arke i-n the early days of United
"States history-. : saw, as they did, that
. was crossing- country with unlimited
resources, country which could easily
be exploited and country- where men j
and women could.live as comfortably as
in many parts of the north temperate
regions of the world.”
Development of the Arctic country
as a ..pa,th of . commercial* ate routes
certaialvwould be made-within the
next generation Mr. Stefansson aissert

much like the medieval attitude to
ward the unexplored regions beyond
the horizon—the terrors io both cases
being largely imaginary.
uFear alone stands in the way of de -
veloping a land area twice the size of

"Oil, coal and othefr resources are
there. Climatic conditions are conqirer
able. People are living and flourishing
in places where there are colder win
tersthan those at the North Pole. For
example, the lowest temperature at the
Pole is about 00 degrees below zero,
while 70 below has been registered in
North Dakota.” -New York World
