Exploration of Greenland
The ‘Frankfurter Zeitung’ publishes a from its Copenhagen correspondent stating that a new expedition for exploring Greenland will start next summer from Denmark. The plan of work has been arranged by the Naval Lieutenant Ryder. The party will consist of nine persons, with three boats and a steamor to convey them to the eastern coast as soon as the condition of the ice will allow of a landing. It is proposed to explore in the course of the summer the region lying between 66deg. and 73dog. north latitude, pushing as far as possible into the interior. Sledges will be employed during the winter, going over as much ground as possible. The expedition will be provisioned and equipped for two years, at the end of which time the steamer will return to take them away, cruising along the east coast until they get down to the shore. The expenses have been estimated at from 250,000 to 290,000 kroner (equal to from about £13,900 to £15,000), and the project is so popular and looked on so favourably by the Government that it is practically certain that the Diet will grant the money.
