No Material Advantage In Dr Cook Discovery
Washington reports that the United States regards Dr. Cook’s claimed Arctic lands as of little consequence for territorial possession. State Department officials note historic exploration since 1828 yielded large areas with no claims, Spitzbergen remains without a recognized owner, and any Cook land likely extends from Greenland or falls under Denmark.
