Stefansson Ship Set for Arctic Voyage From Victoria Harbor
The Karluk, captained by Bartlett, prepares for a three year Arctic voyage led by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. Aboard will be twelve scientists, a moving picture team, and Raoul Amundsen inspired instruments. Stefansson declines claims of landing unknown continents and plans inland coast passage with Nome resupply. He aims to sound and study waters, not seek new land, while relying on Eskimo contacts in the north.
