Antarctic Task
Forces Complete
Explorations
i "
(By Alton L. Blakosleo)
Aboard the U. S. S. Mt. Olym
pus, (/Pi—Capt. Charles Bond’s
western task group ended its polar
i exploratory operations last night,
i completing all activities of the
greatest expedition ever made to
' the Antarctic.
Ships in the eastern and central
groups of the navy expedition led
by Admiral Richard E. Byrd, al
ready have started the homeward
, trip.
The western task group’s three
Mariner seaplanes made 25 photo
graphic mapping flights while the
mother ship, the Currituck,
steamed 3,600 miles around the
1 coast of Antarctica. The planes
photographed 385,000 square miles
in an area, much of which was
never charted before.
Ships of the western and eastern
task groups came within 400 to 500
miles of meeting and, counting
their plane flights, almost circum
navigated the south polar com i
ent.
Expedition officials said ii mb’s
group had a gap of only abou yn *
to 250 miles in the area of the I t
pold and Astrid coast in its p »•(,.
firaphic coverage over its .
mile route. Its activities were h hi
ed before a new . visit could be
made to Bunger’s oasis—an unex
plained area of unfrozen lakes in
land on the continent.
The western group is enroute to
Snyder while the eastern group,
which started northward Monday
is to visit Rio De Janeiro l'or six
days on the return trip, arriving
there about March 18. ^
The ice breaker Northwind
poined the Mt. Olympus today and
the Buton Island, also an ice
breaker, is to meet the two central
group ships prior to their entry into
Wellington, scheduled for 7 a m.
Friday.
