IS WORLD GETTING WARMER?
England, Norway and Sweden are organising a joint Antarctic expedition this year to investigate whether the world is getting warmer.
Two British scientists and Mr. G. Robin, an Australian, who is Lecturer in Physics at Birmingham University, have been appointed to the expedition.
They will be absent about two and a half years.
The expedition will explore the snowy wastes of Queen Maud Land, untrodden by man, and the strange warm “oasis” in ‘ mountains 200 miles from the coast.
The Director of the Royal Geographical Society (Mr. L. P. Kirway) said: “Evidence has been found , that the Arctic is becoming warmer.
It is important to see if the same is happening in the Antarctic and if a world-wide climatic
change Is occurring.”-(A.A.P.).
