APPENDIX NO. III
THE BATHYMETRICAL CONDITIONS OF THE ANTARCTIC REGIONS
BY
HENRYK ARCTOWSKI
The scientific work of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition was commenced
in the channels of Tierra del Fuego, and after the vessel left the
pack they were concluded at Punta Arenas. It is thus impossible to
discuss the physical geography of the antarctic regions in general
without including the scientific results of the expedition of the
_Belgica_.
The works of Murray, Neumayer, Fricker, and others,[2] give a general
account of the previous state of our knowledge of the antarctic
regions, and therefore I prefer to give a short summary of the results
obtained by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition from the point of view of
oceanography.
