ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION
Sir--The author of the article "Strange Cargoes" in your issue of March 16 should check his facts. Hut Point was not the base camp for Scott’s last expedition, it was the Discovery base of 1902-03. The base camp for his last expedition was at Cape Evans on Ross Island, some distance to the north. Incidentally, may I suggest that some collaboration between the NZBS and the Ross Sea Committee to produce a series of short historical sketches on Antarctic exploration would arouse much-needed interest in the present appeal, and at the same time provide fascinating programme material? The doings of men such as Bellingshausen, Ross, Scott, Mawson, Amundsen, Shackleton and Byrd, to mention only the most prominent, cannot fail to excite the imagination, and there is certainly no shortage of books from which to take the neces-
sary information.
