Winter not all dark says Prof Lowell on polar travel
Professor Percival Lowell argues winter journeys to the North Pole have benefits unseen in summer. He notes twilight persists until the sun dips 18 degrees below the horizon and that Cook’s winter venture contrasts with earlier summer attempts. He also deems magnetic pole discovery less scientifically valuable than a pole discovery.

Arctic exploration advances through North Pole reach
Professor E J Burnham of Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences notes the Royal Geographical Society held the pole’s significance in science but reaching it matters for broader Arctic science. He cites the Arctic Circle covers 8 000 000 square miles, with only 3 400 000 explored, and says attaining the northern extremity traverses half that expanse enabling study of currents winds temperature and their shifts.
