the ice was again bare of snow. We advanced a further three miles through 
this territory, it then being necessary to unload the sledge, which could no 
longer make progress with a full load. With half a load — the tent 
with the tackle and its appurtenances, cooking case etc. was left — we 
proceeded a bit further towards a Nunatak situated about a mile east 
of Suzanne Glacier (see Fig. 70). From this spot we could see the rock 
projecting at several places in the glacier. The ice lay close up to the

Nunatak from NW (see point c at Fig. 71) through north and east to 
south, whilst towards the south from point c the Nunatak extended 
about 300m and still sloped towards the south, after which an arm 
turned in a southwesterly direction right on to the glacier. In this 
way a lake is formed with perfectly smooth ice, and bordered as fol- 
lows: towards the east and south by the Nunatak, to the west by the 
perpendicular glacier front and on the north coast by the ice which here 
sloped down towards the glacier, intersected by small crevasses running 
in a northerly and southerly direction. This lake is named “Lake A”’ of 
the “Sostersserne’” (sisters’ lakes); some days later we discovered 
another lake, close up to “Lake A” and this other lake is named “Lake В” 
(Fig. 71). The Nunatak was, as far as we could observe, devoid of any 
vegetation. We ascended it, but saw nothing whatever, neither moss nor
