North Pole Entrancingly
Terrible, Says Priest
NEW YORK UP) One of the
most "entrancingly terrible sights
on earth," says the Rev. Bernard
R. Hubbard, is the North pole.
Father Hubbard, known as
"The Glacier Priest," has spent
23 years in the Arctic. He has
just returned to the United
States to teach geology at Santa
T Clara university, Santa Clara,
Calif.
The 61-year-old priest gave a
graphic description of the North
pole area, which he said prob
ably never has been reached by
anyone on foot.
"At 90 degrees north latitude,
where the pole should be, there
is only a nightmare jigsaw puzzle
of ice floes," he said. "Year
around, the ice is about 20 feet
thick. It floats in an ocean averag
ing 600 feet deep. Buffeted by
strong currents and tremendous
circular winds that whirl across
the polar ice pack, these jigsaw
pieces make no fixed pattern."
