Abstract
THE long-continued neglect of Antarctic exploration has given place to a period of great activity. Several expeditions have, during the last five years, been hovering on the margin of the unknown; and penetrating within it a few steps farther than their predecessors. Great preparations are being made for what ought to prove the most determined effort to explore and study those regions by means of simultaneous national expeditions from this country and from Germany, and the public will soon begin to ask where the Antarctic regions may be and why people wish to go there.
