Professor Bans Ahlaann of the Univereity of Stockholm points out that weather reports have been kept for the longest period ln Bolland, theraoaeter readings ever since the be11nnin1 of the S1ghteenth Century; and these indicate that an esa of colder weather existed until about a hundred years ago, when average temperature• began to riae. IEA'rBER -2 -- The same thing is shown by glaciers, in Scandinavia, for example, the masses of ice have been decreasing, glaciers receding. The same in the Alps, where some well known glaciers, fa ■ oua as scenery, haTe almost disappeared. But that!s nothing to what ha• happened in Alaska, where, as Aaerioan Glaciologist Ua7nard Mitler recently told me, the vast Muir glacier retreated more than thirteen mil•• between iineteen Two and ~ineteen Forty-six.

The shoals of Cod h••• been moving Northward, with cod-fishing now off Greenlaa farther lorth than ever before! The aaae goes for haddock, halibut and herring - mi1rating farther Northward, Arctic waters growing warmer. In parts of Scandinavia, Northern types of bird-life are giving wa1 to birds from farther south. Trees growing farther orth - the timberline advancing. The North Polar Icecap has been receding, so, what about the South Pole? E vidence is lacking. So much study still to be done which suggests other WEATHER -4 questions to ask another friend, explorer Finn Honne, wb recently returned from an expedition of the Yast icecap• of the Antarctic.
