Calm, cover of clouds 3, cumulo-stratus everywhere оп the ho- 
rizon. Probably fog out to sea. 
Started at 8 a. m. We went across the fjord, in order to look 17/V 
for a station on the south side, from which we could see the 
termination of the fjord. The ice on the fjord was pack ice; the 
snow had made long wall-like drifts, which were hard blown in the 
longitudinal direction of the fjord, and between which there was 
glare ice. After a very hard and warm journey we reached the 
country on the south side at 10.30 a. m. The hodometer gave the 
breadth of the fjord as 12 km. We were quite exhausted when we 
had crossed the fjord. The reason of this was, as far as BERTELSEN 
and especially I myself were concerned, lack of sufficient sleep in 
addition to the unaccustomed food. It was due to the observations 
to be taken whenever the sun was visible in the sky — at 6 in the 
morning, at 12 noon, at 6 in the evening and at midnight — that I 
could not lie down and sleep for more than 2—4 hours at a time, 
and even then with a constant fear that I might oversleep myself 
and so miss the observation, which, of course, made my rest less 
sound and valuable. But also the food played a certain part. The
