Hugh Robert Mill stated that while the scientific results of the expedition were not so great as expected, many of Hanson's notes having mysteriously disappeared, the expedition was "interesting as a dashing piece of scientific work".
Hugh Robert Mill udtalte, at mens de videnskabelige resultater fra ekspeditionen var mere beskedne end forventet, meget på grund af at notatene fra Hanson var forsvundet på mystisk vis, var ekspeditionen "interessant som et flot stykke videnskabeligt arbejde".
