- Abstract
- The article describes a scientific-political operation, planned by U.S. leadership in 1923, with the aim of exploration by the U.S. Navy of the region between Alaska and the North Pole. The target was to discover new lands there, take them over, and prevent of other states from taking hold in this region. It is argued that a major corruption scandal in 1923-1924 compromised the idea of this expedition, but the principal reason for abandonment of this project was general indifference of the US ruling circles toward establishment of their control over the Arctic.
