South in the Spring
NY New Zealander who has been to a motor-cycle scramble, will know | that riding a powerful vehicle over a | rough course is a rather violent form | of fun. Therefore, it came as a_ sufprise to us to discover that even down the Antarctic there is a motor-bike in use. This information comes from George Lowe talking in South in the Spring, a programme on the forthcoming New Zealand Antarctic Expedition. This programme consists of a round table discussion by Sir Edmund Hillary, Dr. Trevor Hatherton, Lieutenant-Com-mander W. J. L. Smith, George Lowe, and Harry Ayres. It is essentially a progress report on preparations both here and in the Antarctic. Lieutenant-Com-mander Smith talks first, about the voyage south (with a few asides on the seafaring characteristics of mountaineerexplorers). Other subjects discussed include progress at Shackleton Base; the projected McMurdo Sound base; training of the dogs at Mt. Cook; and the general problems of transport in the Antarctic (YAs, 9.30 p.m., Sept, 2).
