OF PE ARYL AND
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 12 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Gauge Koch, the Dan
ish explorer, who heads an expedi
tion to Northern Greenland, in an in
terview before his departure ex
plained the purposes of his mission.
The enterprise, he said, is in the na
ture of a jubilee expedition in honor
of the 200th anniversary of the ar
rival in Greenland of Tans Egedes, the
Danish missionary.
“During these 200 years Greenland
has been thoroughly explored,” said
Mr. Koch. “North Greenland, how
ever, has never -been mapped out.
This is the aim of the present expedi
tion because otherwise, Denmark
would be obliged to apply sovereignty
to regions which had not yet been
visited by white men.
“I have already proved to the sat
isfaction of American and British
i
scientists, that in Northern Greenland
there is a mountain range 2,000 feet
high, the size of the Caucasus range.
I further want to penetrate the in
terior of Pearyland leaving direct for
Inglefield Gold, from which I will
cross inland ice on a motor tractor,
establishing a depot at Warmingland.
Trials conducted during the last few
months prove that tractors can attain
a speed of six kilometers an hour,
equalling the speed of a dog sled.
“The expedition will be gone three
years, at the end of which time the re
maining fourth of Greenland will have
been mapped. I also expect to bring
back a very interesting geological col
lection.”
