NEW LAND IN ANTARCTIC

Massive Mountain Group THEORIES DISPROVED.

London, May 1.

A special report from the Graham Land Expedition, led by Mr. J. Rymill, of. Adelaide, announces the discovery of a large expanse of new land in the Antarctic, as the re- sult of two journeys by 'plane.

When Mr. Rymill and Mr. Hampton flow aouthward Оп February 27 to prospect. for a base aite, they saw a range on tho southern horizon apparently con- necting Alexander 1. Land-pre- .viously thought to be an island- with the remainder of South Graham Land.

Bad weather and poor visibility forced them to terminate their ex- ploratory flight.

A fortnight later, conditions were perfect and the chief surveyor, Mr. Stevenson, went up with Mr. Rymill to make a skelch map.

They flow.southward for 75 miles

climbing to

5,000rL whence they had a magnificent view of a massive mountain group to the west of Alexander Land, with snow-capped peaka 6,000ft. high.

This alone precludes definite tement that the western part of the mountain chain forms a portion of Graham Land.
