‘GREENLAND’S ICY MOUNTAINS.”—Sir John Hanham, A.D.C. to his Excellency the Governor-General, was a member, a few years ago, of a party which conducted research work in Greenland under the auspices of Oxford University. A party of Cambridge men recently ascended Petermann Peak in Greenland, thought to be the highest mountain in the Arctic. Photograph shows a member of the expedition approaching the pyramidal peak, with the turmoil of crags in the background. There were 20 degrees of frost and a wind of almost gale force blowing when the final assault was made.
