two stations is rather correct, with longitudes and latitudes taken in 
the same spot. 
The sights are however very long — 45 miles and more — but their 
accuracy may be tested approximately by the azimuths taken to the 
northern and southern extremity of Lambert’s Land, which give the 
same north-south extension of this land, as shown by the surveyings 
of the Danmark-Expedition. 
The land east of Kronprins Christian’s Land’s Inlandice 
is laid down on the basis of azimuths both from station IV and V, and 
the coast is thus rather accurate, as we could get cross-bearings to some 
points. The northernmost bearing from station IV may be erroneous, 
as the land, to which the sight was taken, was so low that it was dif- 
ficult to see exactly where it ended, but it may here be stated that the 
stations are in any case much elevated above the land, which was to. 
be surveyed, and as we could look down upon it, many details were 
visible, which would otherwise have been hidden. 
The land west of Kronprins Christian’s Land’s Inlandice 
is laid down on the basis of sights taken from station V, the distance 
from there to the land, and furthermore three sketches of the coastline. 
From station V it was impossible to see the low foreland lying at the 
foot of the mountains, and the sights taken from this station are all to 
mountains some distance inland. The outlines of the forelands are 
roughly sketched from the kroki made from our last camping-site on 
the Inlandice, 5 miles from its edge and 700 metres above sea-level. 
III. Fyen’s Lake is laid down on the map on the basis of an azimuth 
taken from station V to a very prominent mountain on its west coast 
and further after a very careful track-survey. Compass-bearings were 
taken from the Inlandice to the prominent cape on its west coast, and 
it may be mentioned that a rough but effective check on the direction 
of the lake was obtained, when two nights running we saw the sun standing 
right over the northern end of this lake at 2 a.m. (true time). Roughly 
speaking this gives a general NNE direction of the lake. 
A careful track-survey was as stated taken all the way through 
Fyen’s Lake, and a latitude was taken at midnight (80°25’9), but it may 
be that the latter is not accurate, as the observation was begun too 
late, and the sun rose, before the observation was finished. 
A mountain of 410 metres was climbed on the west coast of Fyen’s 
Lake, and a fjord or lake extending northward in the same direction 
as Fyen’s Lake was seen from there. 
The direction of this fjord or lake — whether the one or the other 
we could not determine at the time, but it proved to be Danmark’s Fjord 
— was so near NNE, that we never thought it possible that it might 
be Danmark’s Fjord, the direction of which, at the lower end, was very 
nearly E-W from Horc-HaGen’s chart. We therefore thought it an
