Abstract
THE scientific value of the Australian Expedi tion, described by Sir Douglas Mawson in the September number of the Geographical Journal, though obtained by great toil and hardships, which were almost fatal to the leader and led to the tragic deaths of two of his companions, promises to be very great. Before this expedition, as the maps show, little was certainly known about the Antarctic continent for quite 70° of longitude, from some distance west of Cape Adare to the winter quarters of the Gauss in 1902–3.
