Abstract

Sponsored by the Arctic Institute of North America, directed by the author, and staffed by Canadian and American personnel, this airborne expedition established a semi-permanent research station in the drainage basin of Seward Glacier close to the Alaska-Yukon boundary, where in July-Aug. 1948, a program of glaciological, biological, meteorological and mapping research was begun. Dr. Wood gives here a statement of the program, remarks on the airplane transportation used, and some "broad conclusions from the first field season," concerning the glacier, the weather, and animal life of the region.
