The MacGregor Arctic Expedition was a privately funded expedition which set out to reoccupy Fort Conger, Ellesmere Island, Canada, a site within flying distance of the North Pole. The expedition, which took place from July 1, 1937, to October 3, 1938, had four main objectives: To collect weather data; to make a magnetic survey; to photograph the aurora borealis and study its effects upon radio transmission; and to explore the area northwest of Ellesmere Island, in order to clear up the questions about Crocker Land, which Robert Peary placed on the map more than 30 years earlier.

rdfs:comment	La Expedición Ártica MacGregor (en inglés, MacGregor Arctic Expedition) fue una expedición estadounidense, de financiación privada, que intentó volver a ocupar Fort Conger, en la isla de Ellesmere, Canadá, con la intención de realizar desde allí vuelos que les pudieran llevar al Polo Norte. La expedición, que tuvo lugar entre el primero de julio de 1937 y el 3 de octubre de 1938, tenía cuatro objetivos principales: recopilar datos meteorológicos; hacer una prospección magnética; fotografiar la aurora boreal y estudiar sus efectos sobre la transmisión de radio; y explorar la zona noroeste de la isla de Ellesmere, a fin de aclarar definitivamente la cuestión de la existencia de la Tierra de Crocker, una supuesta gran isla que Robert Peary había dicho avistar hacia más de 30 años.

Cette expédition, débutée le 1er juillet 1937 et achevée le 3 octobre 1938, avait quatre objectifs principaux : recueillir des données climatiques ; réaliser une enquête d'ordre magnétique ; photographier des aurores boréales et étudier leurs effets sur les transmissions radio ; et enfin explorer le nord-ouest de l'île d'Ellesmere. Le tout dans le but de résoudre quelques points alors encore obscurs malgré l', menée par Robert Peary, qui avait cartographié le pôle Nord trente ans auparavant.

Она имела четыре основных цели: провести метеорологические наблюдения; сфотографировать северное сияние и изучить его влияние на распространение радиоволн; провести магнитные исследования; исследовать территории северо-западнее острова Элсмир и подтвердить или опровергнуть сведения о Земле Крокера, нанесённой на карту в 1906 году Робертом Пири. Для этого экспедиция сначала должна была заново занять Форт Конгер на острове Элсмира в Канаде. (ru)
