For many months a German scientific expedition has been at work on geological features of Greenland, activities which cost the life of the expedition! leader, the distinguished German geologist Professor Alfred Wegner. In midsummer one party penetrated to the centre of Greenland, midway between the coasts on the 72nd parallel, and measured the thick- ness of the ice cap by means of shock waves sent down through the ice by explosions of dynamite. These waves were_ reflected from_ the solid ground underneath the ice and detected by seismographo- on their return to the upper sur- face. Prom the time needed by the waves to go down and back the ic; sheets thickness was , M The figures obtained, recent re- ports from the expedition indicate, are unexpectedly large, according to a New York paper: some geologists would say unbelievably large. They indicate nearly 9,000 feel; of ice. Years ago Lord Kelvin calculated, from the known prop- erties of ice. such as its ability to flow slowly under pressure, that no ice sheet could be as thick as this unless under very special circum- stances. Ordinarily, so thick l! sheet would flow out more widely, off the edges of any continent ex- cept Asia and certainly off the edges of relatively small land like Greenland. There is a possibility that the new Cverman measure ment is too large because of some unknown difference in the speed of shock waves through ordinary ice and through ice under extreme pressure at the bottom of Green- land's accumulation for an assum- ed speed of these waves is a necem- ary part of the German expedi- tions calculations. It is possible, on the other hand, that the Kelvin calculations were wrong or that ‘sums unusual condition in Green-| land, such as its rim of encircling] mountains, makes these theories inapplicable. In any event, Greenland studies now promise, as explorers like Commander Peary and Professor Hobbs long have predicted, to be Railway Men! We have a special Accident and Sick- ness policy for you.
