...Each would have a staff of about 50 men, with a powerful radio station and an airfield. Each main base would serve as headquarters for four satellite stations as much as 500 miles away, the maximum practical distance for supply planes. One station is planned for Peary Land, the farthest-north land on earth. Arctops may even put stations on the floating arctic ice, many miles from land...
