Electric Lights
In The Antarctic
Equipment will Enable Members
Of t’olar Expedition Tarty To
See More Effectively.
New York Times.
For the first time, it is believed,
in the history of polar explora
tion, there are electric lights oat the
Antarctic continent, or, rather, on
the Ross Harrier, a vast ice iringe.
where Commander Byrd has his
base. Electricity has changed flic
character of polar exploration more
dramatically, perhaps, titan . any
other single factor. Radio waves
carry descriptions of events that
have occurred that day or the day
before to New York across nearly
10.000 miles of space, and electric
current furnishes power lot a num
ber of other purposes.
How the electricity used by the
expeditions is generated, what re
serves are carried and how the
power is being used reveal some in
teresting aspects of the new age of
south polar exploration.
The Byrd expedition a? it, base.
Little America, has two two-kilo
watt Kohler electric generating
gasoline engines, it is explained, and
tlie.se are powerful enough to sup
ply nearly all the electricity neces
sary for the radio apparatus cai
land, for liehtine nml fr.r certain
special itrins of equipment.
For instance, the expedition's
physician tool; with him two electric
sunlight lamps, which will be u cd
during the period ol darkness that
covers all of Antarctica when we
are feeling the summer l.ent of the
sun To prevent ill health, each man
will have at least 15 minutes of
sunlight treatment every day. The
gasoline engines that generate the
electricity further serve an impor
tant incidental purpose.—a'.by-pro
duct of their use. The heat from
their exhaust pipes is used to melt
snow for drinking and cooking pur
poses.
But besides these engineers there
are several other sources of electric
power. Com. Byrd carried with
him a windmill that looks a little
like the windmills farmers use to
pump water. It is nothing lets than
a wind-driven generating plant.
When there is a breeze—there i:
plenty of wind in Antarctica—this
generating plant functions,-, and
when it functions exhausted storage
batteries are charged
The electric power used in the
radio equipment on board the Byrd
airplanes is supplied by a generator
coupled directly to the engine. This
device is unique, and the expedition
is among the first to use it. The
usual method of obtaining current
for airplane transmitters is from a
jwtiul-drh.n generator.
I Should the airplane be lorced to
: land on account of engine trouble
at a spot, distant from the base,
communication would not be cut off
j by the defection of the airplane cn
| gine, however. One of three auxlll
; arics for supplying current would
I then be called into use. First, the
! plane carries an auxiliary sas en
jginc and generator to supply pow
j.of".- If that also goes out of com
mission. there is a hand-driven elec
tric generator, and if that : third -
i line demise tails, there are storage
batteries In the plane
The contrast between the lighting
arrangements used by the Byrd ex
pedition arid those of earlier ex
plorers is .striking Scott, Amund
sen and Shacklcteii ii'ed lamps and
candles. The acetylene lamps they
carried oh some of their voyages
southward were considered luxuries.
At one point Scott and his men
were glad of lamps with wteUs
made by painstakingly shredding
bits of cam as When Shackleton's
shop was locked hi the ice pack of
Weddell ?ra Mate to be crushed',
her generator was used to supply
current to electric lights that illu
minated the ice surface near the
vessel On Elephant island, where
Shack lei or.'s men were marooned
afier shipwreck, they read by the
light of smoky flares of surgical
dressing gauze wicks stuck In sar
dine tins Idled with blubber.
The Byrd expedition carries emer
gency lamps Cooking is done over
coal and kerosene stoves But to
night when one man or another
down there decides to while awa\
an hour by rending in one of the 10
books he chose to take to that
white erntinent he will probnblv do
It in the light of an electric bulb
very much like that by which the
New Yorkers In his apartment reads
his newspaper.
Twilight has now come to Antarc
tica. Day by day the hours during
which the sun shines grow fewer.
Daily the temperatures heroine low
er. and about May 1 the sun will
be darkness, with occasional faint
glimmerings of light in the distant
sky. Little work can then be done
outdoors, for blizzards swoop con
tinually across the. barrier, making
it dangerous for men to venture
| even a few feet from their huts.
But inside the men will be snug
I and as comfortable as crowded con
ditions permit. They have a good
ilibrary, and what no other Antarc
tic explorer ever had—electric light.
