C, July Baf fin island, which U. 8. navy planes of the .YeeMlllan Arctic- expedition will explore, la one of the least known regions :Of - North America, according to the following bulletin from the National Geographic: So ciety, the society under whose aus pices the expedition will work: "Froblshere discovered the south ern point of Baffin Island 349 years ago." says the bulletin. "North America in, those three and a half centuries, 'has - acquired civilization and 120,000,000 people, but scarcely anything -more m known -of .Baffin Island than -what the old aea .cap iat ' nhlmself ' "discovered. ..'v..,-- -'-A Quaint Description.' " 'Mountayncs, In most parts cov ered with, snow,' p Froblsher de scribes the . southern extremlty, " Mod. ern discovery .confirms .this and hie further belief (hat. 'the -norther lands have lesse a'tore of. snow, more.grasa and more playne countreys.'. His de scriptions of the birds and Jealn and ot the .Eskimos, their -character. Implements ,end boats, fits precisely with our 1825 estimate. ,. "Vot Froblsher touched only one corner or this vast Island and his successors scarcely more than : the shore, so a vast virgin field awaits the .ejcpedltlon'a cameras. "Baffin Island is the third largest Island in the world, Australia and Greenland surpassing It. Resolution Island, ' off the southern point ot Baffin Island, Is about on a lati tude of the southern shpre line of Alaska and of Oslo, capital ,of Nor way and .Leningrad. . But Baffin Islajid Is more than one thousand miles in length, so Its northern lati tude la five hundred miles north of both : Mammertejit, at tho top of qrandlnavla, and Point Barrow, ' Alas ka. .Baffin Island has .resisted thor ough exploration by virtue of ' Its' vastness. It is larger than anv state of the United Slates except Texas and would -moke .almost -four New EPgiands. . Jtolan of tiGrent lakes;" "A luke nearly . large as Ontnrlo is one of the Island's features. Ans. mojkjuak, "the great water' In Es kimo language, is 120 miles lone- and 40 miles wide. It Is, however. only one of the 'Great Lakes' of Baffin Island. -There are also Tea- aeyoakjuak Lake and Lake Netsellk. The latter -may be larger than-Ang-makjunk. "These lakes offer one of tho few places for safe water landinaa for planes to be found anywhere In the Arctic. ..Floating Ice Is an ever pres ent annger In the sea but the high temperatures of the warmed ' lake water eliminate this hazard. : . Fish TlirouKh Igloo Floor. "South Sea Islnnda are aunnosed to afford a llfo of magnificent case In contrast with the Arctic, since there a family can live on the fruit of three, trues. Baffin Island Eski mos, however, have improved on this handy commissary. In the winter they build their igloos on the lnkes, cut a hole through the parlor floor and fish far their dinner. The Es kimo papulation is placed at 670. Illvers and lnkes of the island are woll slocked with fish, notahly sea trout and speckled trout. Tho Arctic hare, wolves, and white and niue foxes are found. The foxes apparently live on mlco ,of .various kinds. Kelndeer nro numerous nnd a few enusk .oxen are believed to In. nniut the northern section. "Commnncler Mac.MUlnn believes that Baffin Island may contain tho mysterious home of the blue goose. It is known that, the trumpeter swan and the common elder breed on .Nottingham Island, at the mouth of Hudson Bay, but tho breedlnir around of the blue geese, whose flying weugea, hooting across the snrlna Hy art to 'amtllar to North Anier lea, " has never been " discovered. Should this home be discovered, it I will open up a virgin field for an mportant ornithological study. ' No danger .of the planes colliding with great flocks of frightened . birds Is anticipated, since similar geese breeding in Islands north .of Siberia lose their power ot flight because of molting during the nesting season. Mowers and Butterflies Abound. "For delightful summer climate a person would not go to the seashore of Baffin Island, but Inland. Cur rents bearing icebergs and chilled by melting ice make the coast. .coot and .damp. Inland, within the she! ter ot the rocks.' the sun beats down for long hours of the- Arctic day. Brilliant flowers -blossom, butterflies enliven the warmed rockB, and even the pestiferous summer files irritate modern explorers just as much as tbey did Froblsher, .."Like the Americas, Baffin Ieland takes Its - name, not from Ita dis coverer, but from ,a later explorer, William Baffin. Buffln. never led an expedition to Its shores, but his scientific observations made aa. pilot on three important ventures into the 'northwest' , earned him the honor of havln ethe '-great island, as Well as the big bay between north Green land rand Baffin Island, numed after him. His most remarkable .voyage was with Robert Bylot, sljlp master,, through Davis strait, now the high. road to north, Greenland, nnd into Baffin bay, which had never been seen by white men before. '"At the top of the bay. ..Baffin"! polea down the great declination of the compass, -the greatest discovery up to that time. Three' merchant adventurers of London's rlalto, who sent this expedition and .many others to plant the- British flag In new .soli, are memorialized .fn guide posts to tho Arctic left by this expedition: Lancaster Sound for sir James Lan caster, boundary to Baffin Island on the .northwest; Jones Sound, farther north, for Sir Francis Jones, and Smith 8ound..on which Etali lies, for Sir Thomas Smith. A Land of Many Parts. "Uatrin island Is .virtually a land of ninny lands. Within its chores are .-Penny Lnnd Cumberland, Hop pner Land, Greenwood Land, Cock burn Land .Fox Land, Prince Wil liam Land, Milne Land and Meta In cognita. Soflprnwled out -is the island with points and promontories that a succession of explorers dis. covered vnrlous parts Independently. With the wish father to the thought, they .christened their find a -'land.' Luter exploration has tied all these diverse 'lands' Into one island, Baf fin Island. "it Is easy to guess that Mota , In cognita, tho ..odd name -for southern most Baffin Island is tho little Joke of Queen Elisabeth, for she - be stowed it. Discoveries were as com mon as rnln ,ln ther ago when clvl. liuttlon was first going into high gear. Ijind bodies sprang up on maps like mushrooms. 'Queen Bess' was bored, perhaps, when tho capari soned and .courtly Froblsher sought audience to lay his latest find at her feet. " 'What manner of lnnd Is thlsj' she probably asked. "With an explorer's pride ot dis covery he undoubtedly told with fervor of the 'mountnynes ,in most parts covered with snow.' the absence of trees, nnd the handful of Eaklmo Inhabitants. Would her.' gracious mn4esty choose to iive a nam to this new found land? Her majesty would. Thero must hava been a twinkle In the royal eyea as she named it Mota Incognita, meaning 'beyond the unkVown.' "Hut Queen Ellraboth's joke Is still good nnd not. until Ihe II. 8. navy airplanes have surveyed it, will Baf fin jslans be .'beyond the unknown,' " A man lh flean tlf Ar mnv r-n Hnwn three times and then not be but, Cook with gaa.
