Report on the expedition. 70 
An hourly record of the course and the distance travelled was further- 
more kept with great accuracy and noted down, whenever a stop was 
made. 
The observations of longitudes and latitudes were not taken in the 
same spot, save in two cases, as the weather-conditions were so severe 
and changeable that we did not dare to waste 4—5 hours, when trav- 
elling was possible, but no error of any importance can arise through 
this cause, as the hourly travelling-record was kept very accurately. 
The station IV & V May 4th and 5th and May 8th and 9th are 
however laid down according to latitudes and longitudes in the same spot.

The chart of the land which we passed on the journey across the 
Inlandice is made on the basis of these observations, and azimuths are 
taken to all sharply defined points as seen from the stations I, II, IV, V. 
It was however difficult to keep up an accurate surveying on a journey 
across the border of the Inlandice, as it was impossible to decide before- 
hand where the stations were to be, owing to the extremely hilly nature 
of this part of the Inlandice, which often caused the land to drop 
out of sight even for a day or two. The sights are therefore not often 
cutting into the land at right angles. 
A running survey was furthermore made while passing the nunataks
