our camping site, and noticed that the ice was much lower than east 
of a line from our camp to Cape Bellevue. The line of demarkation was 
very pronounced, as there was an almost vertical drop of about 20 metres 
(Fig. 16). 
March 315 was spent in camp, as it blew too hard to proceed or 
even to fetch up our stores, and the wind did not calm down till 5 p. m. 
too late to do any work. The weather was quite clear after the gale, 
so we could see far to the north, where hill rose above hill until a 
distance of about 15 miles. 
April Ist we advanced our stores; the weather was quite good.

In this diary sketch, and in the following, the figures to the right of the line 
indicating the route denote the hour, when the course, distance and other observations 
were noted down. The meteorological data observed at these hours are recorded 
in the list, pag. 71. The figures to the left of the line indicate the heights, in 
metres, worked out after the return, so that they do not always correspond 
with the notes in the sketch on incline and decline (see pag. 78—79) . 
April 2nd. We did not leave the camp till 8 a. m. owing to different 
accidents with the dogs and sledges.
