Wrangell Island Expeditions and Early Sightings
Wrangell Island near the Arctic sea has drawn explorers from Kellett’s 1849 sighting to later US and Canadian attempts. Corwin landed in 1881, while Stefansson’s 1920s voyage sought Arctic routes via Nome and the Kaduk. Subsequent expeditions by Crawford and Bernard tried to reach the island, amid harsh ice and a quest to establish a station for navigation and transport.

Large Copper Crystal Produced at Schenectady Lab
A single copper crystal seven eighths of an inch in diameter and six inches long, plus smaller crystals, was produced at the General Electric laboratory in Schenectady. Dr. Wheeler A. Davey and methods refined from Dr. B. W. Bengmann yielded crystals by slow heating to form a single, continuous crystal. rapid cooling produced many smaller crystals. The study shows crystals as single units when undisturbed but break into smaller grains under bending or polishing, with X ray analyses confirming single-crystal structure and cube-face arrangement.
