Polar exploration viewed as vital future of air travel and mapmaking
In a New York World Tribune essay, Rowland argues Arctic air routes could reshape trade and military power. He notes proximity of Russia, Canada, and Norway to the Arctic and foresees ships and bases spanning the ice dominated ocean, with aviation enabling rapid links among Europe, Asia, and North America. He cites Byrd's planned flight from Spitsbergen to Peary Land toward the pole as a milestone in Arctic exploration and potential sovereignty issues among nations.
