 Bugt, saa vi en stor Isbræ (Weyprecbts Bræ), der skjod 

 sig frem i Havet med en brat Ydervæg. og kort Tid efter 

 viste sig en lignende, endnu større Isbræ (Kjerulfs Bræ). 

 Den sidstes yderste bratte Væg var efter de anstHlede 

 Vinkelmaalinger 45 Meter høj. Bræerne kom frem under 

 Taagen med en Overflade, der skraanede meget s vagere

in this locality to the sbore. Off West Cross Bay. we saw 

 a large glacier (Weyprecbts glacier). jutting into the sea, 

 with a steep outervvall; and shortly after another came in 

 sight (Kjerulfs glacier). of still more imposing dimensions. 

 its precipitous outer wall being found by trigonometrical 

 measurement to attain an elevation of 150 feet. The gla- 

 ciers here, as seen beneatb the mist, bad the slope of their 

 surface much more gradual than the precipitous glaciers on 

 tbe east side. I estimated the incline at about 10 degrees. 

 A third glacier (Foyns glacier) was sighted east of the 

 large one. It was smaller than tbe otber two. On one of 

 the following days, as we again coursed along tbe northern 

 sbore of Jan Mayen, the clouds lay bigber. affording a het- 

 ter view of the coast; and on this occasion tbe glaciers 

 could be distinctly seen. projecting from deep clefts in the 

 abrupt mountain-wall. which attains an altitude of 900 feet, 

 and here. as on the east side, forms the seaward base 

 of Mount Beerenberg. Fig. 5 gives a view of the 3
