Report concerning the remaining part of the expedition. 167 
The belt of stone and rubble which we came across about 7 miles 
east of the high Inlandice, beginning at Suzanne Glacier, must have 
been a continuation of the horseshoe-shaped moraine formation men- 
tioned by WEGENER and Косн, because — judging from Fig. 46 in 
the description — it runs off in a southeasterly direction towards Cape 
Bellevue, and this coincides exactly with the direction of the belt we 
came across, as it went towards Cape Bellevue, the chief direction being 
nearly NNW—SSE (true). The ice, where the tent was erected sloped 
towards the west, and had done so for about two miles before we 
reached the tentplace; further for about a mile to the west of the 
tent place the ice sloped, whereafter it retained the same height farther 
towards the west, but was yet full of small hills and valleys, which 
straight up to Suzanne Glacier assumed the character of the crevasses 
previously mentioned. 
As regards the situation of the two lakes, I must refer to the 
sketch (see Fig. 71). The route followed by the sledge is shown by a 
dotted line representing the way down over the lakes. At the point a 
the ice became very uneven and full of small crevices (see Fig. 72) 
with direction north and south. The sides of the crevices were quite 
smooth and polished, seeming to suggest that they were old river-beds 
from the last thaw and perhaps the result of several thaws, the lakes 
thus being the natural receptacle for the water flowing in this vicinity. 
The height of the Inlandice itself above the lake A at the point b 
was about 10 to 12 metres, sloping at an angle of 45°. On the east side 
of the lake the land rose straight up to such an altitude, that it went 
right over to the Inlandice at the point c. 
The south side of the lake was bounded by the arm of the island 
extending to the west, which at this spot was quite low, and on this arm 
we found a few bits of grass and moss. The tongue or arm of land 
stretched to about 20 metres from the wall of the glacier, which bor- 
dered the west side of the lake. The glacier wall rose vertically to an 
altitude of about 30 metres above. the level of Lake A. 
On the glacier wall itself the land projected visibly at several points 
(see Fig.73), a fact which strongly suggests that Dronning Louise’s Land 
is connected with Ymer’s nunatak by a range of hills hidden at some 
points by ice, and this would also appear to explain the existence of 
the glacier wall. It is true that the land did not project through the 
ice on the whole stretch between Dronning Louise’s Land and Ymer’s 
Nunatak, which was clearly shown on our return journey, as the route 
went just between the said nunataks (Dronning Louise’s Land and Ymer’s 
Nunatak); but on the other hand no borings were made in the ice which 
might have demonstrated the presence of the land. Another reason 
from which I draw this conclusion is that the appearance of the surface 
of the ice, especially just between Dronning Louise’s Land and Ymer’s 
Nunatak and to the west of this place, was like that of the ice which
