With knowledge gained from boring down into the C-retnland Icecap, the scientists set up and tested a deep-core drill des- igned to pierce an 8.700-foot hole at Byrd Station. Thev hone the ice samples will show tem- perature variations over the millennia: rate of snow accum- ulation: in fa!.] of extraterrest- rial material, if any; and phys- ical conditions, of layers of ice and rock. At the other end of the earth, an eight-man American-Canad- ian team left Eilesmere Island ear!\' in 1967 for the North Pole. each man driving a motorized sicd. Not since Admiral Robert E. Peary conquered the Pole in April. .1909, has there been a successful attempt to reach it again by foot and sled. Each of the 250-pound snow- mobiles towed an aluminum to- boggan carrying equipment, supplies, and more than 400 pounds of food-in packs simi- lar to those used by astronauts- for the 1,600-mile round trip. Unexpectedly warm weather, melting ice. and other prob- lems turned the expedition back about 80 miles north-northwest of its starting point. The ex- pedition plans to trv again in 1968. On the international political scene, the parade of former colonies moving from depend- ence to independence lost mo- mentum in 1967. One new nation was formed ahead of schedule when the State of Aden and the Protect- orate of South Arabia plunged into independence in Novem- ber. Britain originally planned to withdraw from Aden and South Arabia on January 9, 1988, but various developments, marked by violence between rival Ara- bian factions as well as be- tween Arabs and British forces, iled to the earlier deoarture. ! ISLANDS ACHIEVE ! STATEHOOD Five island territories in the Caribbean achieved associate statehood under the aegis of (he United Kingdom, These were Antigua. Dominica. St. Lucia, Grenada, and the neighboring triumvirate of St. Christopher. Nevis, and Anguilla Islands. Anguilla attempted to secede from the Associated State of St. Christepher-Nevis-Anguilla; its future status remained uncer- tain. Another British possession in the Caribbean-St. Vincent-was slated to achieve associate statehood but showed interest in joining Guayana, indepen- dent since 1966. Each associate state is indi- vidually linked with Britain. Though referred to collectively as the West Indies Associated States, they do not comprise a political entity. In Africa, the French over- seas territory of French Soma- lilan'd, on the Gulf of Aden be- tween Ethiopia and the Somali Republic, changed its name to the French Territory of Afars and Issas. The Afars and Issas are the principal peoples of the country. The Afars live in the north: the Issas, a clan of the Dir Somalis. reside in the South. The territory has 8,500 square miles and a population of 86,000. A geographic change in North America recalled gold-rush days. The Canadian town of Yellowknife, with a population of 3,800, was designated capital' of the Northwest Territories.
