| Summary: | Polar Record, Vol 14, No 93, 1969 H. Simpson's expedition to the North Pole, 1969 Page 820, line 5 For 400 km which took twenty three days read 640 kmwhich took 32 days. Page 820, line 15 For all three read Tufft. Page 820, line 21 For lat 80°50N read lat 84° 42'N. The party turned back on 27 March and reached Ward Hut Island on 6 April after 45 days on the sea ice. Dr Simpson adds: The scientific investigations into whether human circadian rhythms (body temperature, hormone and electrolyte excretion) desynchronize from the 24-h period on the polar pack ice and also a study of the minimum protein requirement in polar rations on a manhauling expedition, will be published in 1971. A full account of the expedition with tabulations of distances, weather etc appears in Due North by Myrtle Simpson (London, Gollancz, 1969).
