ditions they succeeded in exploring a land which was still a « white spot » on all the geographic charts of the World. The largest glacier in the World, the Fedchenko, was discovered, together with other very high peaks, new valleys and new roads. The expedition found gold, copper and other metals. They systematized considerable meteorological data, compiled detailed maps of the region, etc. In such a brief article it would be impossible to enumerate all the results obtained. As a feat of mountain sports, the Lenin peak which is the highest in the Russian Soviet Union, 21,600 feet, was scaled. The filming section accompanied the principal group in all its explorations and succeeded in taking the entire glacial region in all its austere magnificence. The life of the local inhabitants ; the fatiguing progress of the expedition ; the difficulties encountered and the adventures of the trip were all accurately filmed. The loss of the horses as they fell over the precipices ; wading the dangerous, rushing mountain streams ; the glaciers and hanging bridges and even the fall of one of the men into an ice crevice are faithfully reproduced by the films and within a short time the cinemas throughout the world will show this unknown land which up to a short time ago was only a little white spot on the map of Pamir.
