Besides Amundsen's, there was the Japanese expedition
under Lieut. Shirase, which had to retreat to Australia last spring in order to replenish its supply of dogs, and which Amundsen says landed on January 16th at the Bay of Whales, two weeks before he
sailed for home; Dr. Mawson's Australian expedition, for which $ 215,000 had been raised up to November 1st last, and which was to land three parties between Cape Adare and Gaussberg; the German expedition
under Lieut. Filchner in the «Deutschland,» elaborately equipped with wireless, magnetic, and meteorological apparatus,
full of the hope of establishing a base southwest of Coats Land in as high a latitude as possible; and lastly, Capt. Scott's English expedition in the «Terra Nova,» which left New Zealand in November, 1910, badly damaged by stormy weather; so badly, indeed, that the necessary repairs and the cost of making good the stores that had been lost seriously depleted the resources of the party.
