It is a great land mass crisscrossed by mountain(51) whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the(52)is a complete blank on our maps. A 1,000-mile stretch of the coastline has never been(53)by any ship. Man has(54), on foot, less than one per cent of its ares.

This(60)air cascades off the land with such(61)that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders(62)those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the(63)are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that(64)most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandenavia—a region(65)in forest and mining industries. Except for a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.
