Race for the North Pole by Air or Submarine
Sear Admiral Robert B. Peary plans an airplane voyage to the Arctic while Stefania son, a Canadian explorer, favors a submarine. Peary argues air travel suits Arctic work, but Stefania son sees the submarine as the practical path. A Chicago observer notes the windy city’s air resembles an Eskimo hut and doubts the wireless. The explorer predicts the submarine could push exploration farther into the frozen regions, possibly on his next expedition.
