YUKON EXPEDITION
FIRST TO EXPLORE
Mighty St. Ellas Mountains
Crossed On Alaska-Yukon
Border to Survey Area
". Previously Unmapped
WASH INGTON, D. O. (Spl.) m the
race of blinding blizzards, destruction
by fire of equipment, and near trag
edy to some of Its dogs, the National
Geographic Society's Yukon Expedi
tion made the first crossing of the
mighty St. Ellas mountain range on
the Yukon -Alaska border and thus
withdrew a vast region from the un
mapped areas of the world.
The expedition, led by the youth
ful explorer. Bradford Washburn, of
Cambridge, Massachusetts, crossed the
range on foot with dog sledges lor
the first time In history despite ter
rific hardships. The expedition also
made maps and aerial photographs of
a large area of the St. Ellas range
previously unmapped, near the Yu-kon-Asaska-
border.
Peaks Named for King, Queen
The area, the Washburn party ex
plored is at the Junction of the
southeastern corner of Alaska and
the southwestern corner of Yukon
Territory, Canada, famous In the
Klondike gold rush days of 38 years
ago.
Several Immense new mountain
peaks were discovered by the expedi
tion and their positions located with
surveying Instruments and cameras
which were carried to a height of
more than 12.000 feet on Mt. Hub
bard, the highest survey station ever
occupied in Canada.
Two of the new peaks In Canadian
territory were named for King
George and Queen Mary In honor of
their silver Jubilee. Mr. Washburn
received the following telegram from
Sir John Simon, British Secretary of
State for foreign affairs.
"The King commands me to express
to you the sincere appreciation of the
compliment which the National Geo
graphic Society-Yukon Expedition has
paid to his Majesty and to the Queen
in naming the newly discovered peaks
after their majesties in commemor
ation of his Silver Jubilee. The King
congratulates the expedition cn their
Important achievement In effecting
the first crossing of the St. Ellas
range from Yukon to Alaska."
Fought Severe Bl lizards
The expedition camped 84 days on
snow and Ice fields and conducted
surveys In the face of extreme cold,
bad snow conditions and severe bliz
zards. A huge glacier, 40 miles long,
one of the largest In North America,
was named after ex-President Abbott
Lawrence Lowell of Harvard Univer
sity. The explorers suffered two near
disasters. Three of the best dogs of
their highly -essential dog team fell
into a crevice In a glacier 70 feet
deep but were rescued unharmed by
two of the men who were lowered into
the crevice by ropes. A fire starting
from a small stove burned one tent
and a sleeping bag. leaving one tint
and three Bleeping bugs for four men
in the expedition's advanced survey
party.
After reaching the Alaskan sea
coast Washburn and one other man
travelled the last lap to civilization
in a rubber boat like that taken by
Amelia Earhart on her flight from
Hawaii to the United states. This
boat was carried by the expedition
all the way across the mountains.
Members of the expedition In addi
tion to Washburn were: Robert H.
Bates, Philadelphia. Pa.; Hartness
Beardsley, Springfield, Vt.; Adams
Carter, West Newton, Mass.; Ome
Dalber, Seattle, Wash.; Andrew M.
Taylor, Ottawa. Canada. Robert Ran
dall, airplane pilot, brought" supplies
to the expedition in a plane equipped
with skis, and aided In the taking of
aerial photographs.
