In the beginning of the spring 1910, as soon as the weather permits 
5 men will leave the winter harbour and endeavour to reach the depot 
at Lambert’s Land as soon as possible. 
From there the course will be laid across the inland-ice to Danmarks 
Fjord, and after the broken up area of the inland-ice is passed, 3 men 
alone, with 100 days’ provision, will continue, while the two others 
return to the ship. 
After reaching the Danmark’s Fjord, the Expedition will search the 
west coast thereof so closely as possible. 
If the records should not be found at Cape Holbæk or Cape Kron- 
borg, the return journey will take place along the outer coast of Green- 
land, around Nordostrundingen and down to Lambert’s Land, where 
a small depot is to be found. The return journey can be facilitated 
with help from the depots already placed by the Danmark Expedition. 
The coast will be closely searched, and all depots will be opened and 
searched for possible records. 
The distance from Lamberts Land to Cape Kronborg is about 
200 miles, and whith a low calculated average rate of 10 miles per. day 
only 20 days are needed for this part of the trip. 
In case the records are found at Cape Holbek or Cape Kronborg, 
the future plans for the expedition will depend on the condition of men 
and dogs at that time. 
If everything goes well, and if we have sufficient provisions left, 
a journey westward into the Peary Channel can be contemplated, in 
order to investigate whether this Channel goes through the whole 
country or not, but sufficient care is to be taken, that the main results 
of the Expedition are not again exposed to loss. 
With light sledges — as all the material not to be used, as well as the 
provision for the return voyage is to be left at Cape Rigsdagen — a com- 
paratively great distance can be covered in short time, and when the 
object is attained, or the provision set aside for this purpose is used, 
the expedition will return to the winter quarter, following the route 
which offers the best possibilities for a safe and speedy return. 
The men left onboard will in the meantime make such observations, 
or sledgetrips which can be made or safely undertaken with the material 
at disposal. 
When the sledge expedition from Danmark’s Fjord returns, the first 
opportunity for getting out of the ice will be used, and the whole expe- 
dition ought to be in Denmark by the fall of 1910”.
