Dr. Gould and Dr. Odishaw discuss the idea of the IGY. They trace the idea from the suggestions that was a Third International Polar Year (1882-83, 1932-33) through its expansion into the largest international scientific effort in the history of the world. They present general observations on the geographic and scientific “unknowns” in Antarctica and some of the larger questions to which the IGY hopes to find answers in its exploration of this continent.
