SOUTH POLE FLIGHT
LINCOLN ELLSWORTH’S PLANS. THE PURPOSE OF HIS JOURNEY. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, September 14. Mr Lincoln Ellsworth has arrived here from Europe. He has announced that the plane of the projected flight across the Antarctic Continent have progressed so far, that he expected to start on it in the fall of 1933. He would be accompanied by Balchen. They will take off from Ross Sea, and will fly 2900 miles over the South Pole to Weddell Sea. Mr Ellsworth said that many geographers believe that the Ross and Weddel Seas cut into the Antarctic Continent, making it two islands. He added: “My purpose is purely geographical, to determine if there are two islands or if the Antarctic is merely one island.”
