These include: (4) a dra- matic increase in plant and animal life at the far north, also extreme northward bird migrations at the onset of winter; (5) stones, wood, dust, pollen and mud found both on and embedded in icebergs; (6) anomalous radio-wave behaviour in polar region; (7) gravitational increase measurable at the polar curve, sufficient to cause a significant segregation of salt water and fresh water; (8) strange situation of the far north Eskimo, a people with a com- pletely unique language and whose oral tradition states that they originated from much farther north in a warm land of perpetual daylight; (9) polar sea depth and strong southgoing current in the high Arctic; (10) the perfectly fresh mammoths found encased in the ice: (a) if, as the official government position postulates, these elephants died during a climate shift from tropical to frigid, it is logical to enquire why didn't these shivering elephants simply ‘pack their trunks’ and move south? or (b) if this alleged climate shift happened suddenly, then why aren't these ‘flash-frozen' pachyderms found alongside the inevitable 'flash-frozen’ thou- sands of acres of forest in which they lived?; and (11) the peculiar chemistry and mathematics of icebergs, enormous objects com- posed of fresh water and which, although there is almost no annual precipitation with which to replace them, travel by the thousands slowly southward to melt every year. The compass has been trying to indicate the true configuration of the polar regions ever since man first employed this instrument in his quest for those mythical poles. Instead of smoothly leading would-be conquerors of the pole to the fabled 90° latitude point, as it must if the official description of the Earth's geology is cor- rect, the needle starts to perform in an agitated and indecisive fashion in high latitudes. After reaching approximately the 80th parallel, an extraordinary thing begins to occur: the needle starts vertical movement! It is at that stage that the conflicting forces of magnetism and gravity are manifesting themselves. Concerning the compass, Russian explorer Snegirev writes: "the magnetic pole..makes some kind of tricky curve...inconve- nience of travelling by compass alone. The arrow would point northward, then suddenly it would veer to the west, and then almost reluctantly it would return to its former position.” Walter Sullivan comments in Quest for a Continent: "...compasses which behaved erratically so near the Pole.” Chauncey Loomis observes in Weird and Tragic Shores, his biography of Arctic explorer Charles Francis Hall: “...be buried so far north of the 46 « NEXUS DECEMBER 1994 - JANUARY 1995
