“It’ll be mighty bleak and cold,” remarked Hapworth. “Makes me shiver just to think of it. Thousands of miles of ice and snow! A good deal worse than the North Polar regions, if you ask me. Up in the Arctic you do have human companionship of a kind, the Eskimos, for instance. But down in the Antarctic I don’t suppose you’ll find a human soul.”
“Probably not,” agreed Ted. “But we’d have enough companionship in the members of our own party. As for the cold, I don’t care a fig for that. And there’ll be a tremendous fascination in learning all there is to learn about a region that has been a closed book to the human race since the beginning of history. There are mountains to be measured, seas to be plumbed, strange specimens of birds and fish to classify, fossils of extinct species to be studied, coast lines to be traced, perhaps gold mines to be discovered. Why, that Antarctic Continent is nearly as big as the United States and Canada put together! For centuries it’s been challenging the world to find out about it, and I’d like to be one of those who take up the challenge.”
