Abstract
THE German Antarctic Expedition will leave Europe, in a single ship, in the autumn of 1901. The simultaneous dispatch of a second ship is not proposed, as this does not appear to be necessary, either for the solution of the scientific problems or for the safety of the Expedition. A second vessel would be expedient only if it were intended to carry out oceanographical researches around the Antarctic area at the same time as a southward advance is made by the first ship. This is rendered the less necessary, on account of the work which has been done by the German Deep Sea Expedition in Antarctic waters south of the Indian Ocean, the side on which the German Expedition will endeavour to penetrate the ice.
