Report on the expedition. 27 
The main-party consisting of IVERSEN and MIKKELSEN, and the 
support-party consisting of OLSEN, Poursen and Глов (leader) left 
Shannon Island on March 3d with all our dogs— twenty-one in all. The 
parties journeyed together to Haystack, where depot I was left, then 
to Cape Peschel (double-banking from Bessel Bay) where depot II was 
left, in between the islands off Brede Bree, where depot III as well as a 
sledge was left close to the Inlandice on a island at 76°42’. The parties 
went from there over Storstrømmen, where depot IV was left about 6 
miles off land and on 77°16’ М. Lat. and further north to 77°26’, where 
the support-party returned. 
This party returned to the depot on 77°16’ and from there went 
north of Dronning Louise’s Land and along its west coast to 77°10’, where 
the party returned and followed the outward track to Dove Bay, and 
from there went to Shannon Island via Danmark’s Havn. 
The main-party proceeded northward, and did not get down to land 
till at such a late period that returning over the Inlandice was out of 
the question, and all the provisions were consequently taken along on 
the continued journey — along the west coast of Danmark’s Fjord to 
Cape Rigsdagen, from where the return-journey was commenced. The 
outer coast of northeast Greenland, around Nordostrundingen, was fol- 
lowed until Danmark’s Havn and back to Shannon Island, the party 
more or less supporting itself on the depots left along the coast by the 
Danmark-Expedition. 
The outfits carried by the two parties were quite similar, and men- 
tion is therefore only made of that of the main-party, as it was the most 
carefully selected. 
The outfit may be divided in: 
I. permanent weights (every thing which is not eatable) 
II. diminishing weights (provisions, fuel ete.).
