"Nansen's food cache is 400 miles from the Pole, at Columbia Cape. From there he would have į little difficulty in reaching Elsemère Land and Sabine Cape, where I left a food cache, and where Dr. Greely spent a winter. Then he would journey into Alaska or Hudson's Bay, getting into touch with the Canadian Mounted Police."
