Soviet Scientists Will Be At Mercy of Floes And Currents
Moscow, Nov, 1. Repeating the bold experi- ment made four decades ago by the Norwegian explorer, Fritjof Nansen, Soviet scien- tists are planning deliberate- ly to freeze a ship in the Arctic ice packs and float wherever the Polar currents may carry them.

The story of Lasseter's Reef has excited prospectors in Auh- tralia for more than 30 years. Young Harry Lasseter, lost in the Australian wilds, found reef "with yellow stuff in it as thick as plums in a pudding.": He gathered a few specimens and set off along the trail back to civilisaton.

The advantage of this type of con- struction, as Nansen proved, is that when subjected to pressure by ice packs, the ship, instead of being crushed ne was the ill-fated "Cheliuskin" last year, is merely forced to the surface of the ice. The ship is now being designed and will be completed within two
years.
