This third period of antarctic research, like the third stage of arctic exploration, is wholly in the interest of science. The first country to complete the outfit of a modern expedition was Belgium. England and Germany now have expeditions in preparation, but the honour of being the first to send a scientific ven ture, with trained specialists and appropriate equip ment to the antarctic, belongs to Belgium.
