In the last number of The Polar Record I gave a short account of the plans for a Second Polar Year. A great deal of organizing work has been put into the scheme and Dr la Cour, the President of the International Commission for the Polar Year 1932–33, has devoted practically the whole of his time to the project.

More than a year has passed since the incidents occurred which are the subject of this article. During that time much of the detail has faded from my memory, the impressions have become blurred, and the ideas which then formed themselves in my mind are now forgotten. Yet it may be that a few notes on that time spent on the Greenland ice-cap will be of some use to travellers who, in the future, may be faced with a similar problem. If, by these notes, I can do something to dispel the strange ideas of danger and risk in leaving a man in such a situation, I shall feel justified. There are many men, trappers and the like, who live by themselves for most of the year. An accident is very rare among these men, nor are their minds usually deranged.
