EXPEDITION IN ANTARCTICA
WINTER CAMP BEING BUILT LONDON, Feb. 21. The special representative of the Associated Press with the joint Antarctic expedition on Crown Princess Martha Land reported on February 18 that the first wintering' house was ready and a second house was nearly completed. It was expected that the Norsel would leave on February 20.
The correspondent added that on Thursday morning Squadron Leader Walford made a flight to the southwest. From an altitude of 4500 feet over Cape Norvegia he observed indications of mountains in two main groups stretching from north-east to south-west. It was not known whether the mountain group was the same as that, discovered by the Germans in 1939.
