As Assistant To Hobbs
Prof. William H. Hobbs of the ge-
ology department, director of the Un-
versity Greenland expeditions, leaves
oday for the Mt. Evans weather ob-
servatory via New York, Br/men,
Copenhagen, and Holstensborg, thi
Greenland port of call for Mt. Evans.
He will sail at midnight tomorrow a-
board the Columbus of the North Ger-
man Lloyd line for Bremen, Germany.
With the exception of William S.
Carlson, who is already at Mt. Evans,{
having arrived about the midde o
April, the rest of this year's party
consisting of Ralphi L. B~elknap, sec-
ond in command, L. R. S'chneider, aer.
ologist, Duncan Stewart, assistant
geodosist and geologist to Belknap.
andl Francis M. Baer, radio expert'
will sail fron New York for Copen-
htagen, May 19.
Three To Return Soon
Hobbs, Belknap, and Stewart will
return to civilization late in the sum-
mer', leaving Schneider, Carlson, and
Baer to spend the winter together
atop Mt. Evans taking meteorological
observations from the station built
last year. Data on the winds that
form the glacial anticyclone around
the ice-cap will be collected by the
party with the aid of balloons.
The Greenland storms are being
studied to determine what effect they
have on the weaker over the travel-
led lanes of the North Atlantic. Dur-
ing the past year there have been at
least six clear-cut cases in which
violent'storms have been recorded by
the Mt. Evans station two days before
they have swept southward wih ter-
rific force over the middle Atlantic
and the Newfoundland banks.
To Make Island Trek
Belknap and Stewart will make a
trek inland to the edge of the ice-cap
and map it, working southward about
200 miles until it swings around to
the coast. There are no adequate
maps in existence for this area of
Greenland, according to Belknap.
They will then proceed along the
coast and up the Soendra Stroemfjord
to Mt. Evans. If sufficient time re-
mains they will also map the edge of
the ice-cap from the head of Ikertok
fjord where the first Greenland ex-
pedition camped to the head of Kan-
gendlugsdak fjord, or Soendra Stro-
cmfjord, as in Danish.
