The article highlights Sir Hubert Wilkins as having seen more land than any explorer and being first in the Antarctic. It notes he has flown over 15,000 miles in the Arctic and over 6,000 miles in the Antarctic, adding 540,000 square miles to the known world. It mentions his numerous narrow escapes, never needing assistance, and his claim that a submarine trip to the North Pole is the safest plan in 15 years.
