SOUTH FROM THE SOUTH POLE?
Sir,-In a recent talk in the "Wild Life" series broadcast by 1ZB Dr. R. A. Falla referred to the blizzards "that blow across the South Polar Plateau, down towards the coasts of the Antarctic Continent, in every direction, North, South, East and West." Surely it would be impossible for such*a wind to blow in any direction but northward, nor could Antarctica have any coast other than a North coast. A small point, certainly, but I just couldn’t resist the temptation to correct one of our leading scientists.
