ABSTRACT THERE is now a vast literature of the polar regions, both north and south, but the proportion of those books and papers which deal with the subject on a broad basis is very small,

and is certainly not easily accessible. In many of these books we are invited to conjure up the sensations of the polar explorer, to feel his frost-bites, to savour his pemmican, to glory in

his pack-ice and his glaciers, even to die his death. Not the least part of our interest in polar work is due to these invitations so graphically offered to us in text and illustration.

Much more rare is it to find a polar explorer viewing his territory as a whole, and trying to fit it into the scheme of the world in general. In a word, we are rather encouraged to regard

the polar regions as places apart, extraneous to the real comity of the world. We will first consider the kind of value of the polar regions which appeals most quickly to the public. Access
