NEW LAND. 



WINDS. 



The local conditions affecting the direction and force of the wind 

 had even greater influence in Havnef jord than in Frams Havn. At our 

 place of anchorage it generally took the form of squalls from the 

 surrounding mountains, irrespective of the prevailing wind outside. 



WIND. 



The wind directions given in the table are those which prevailed at 

 our place of anchorage at the moment of taking the observation, and 

 this seldom agreed with the direction of the wind outside the fjord. A 

 N.E. wind is thus often a S.E. wind, or nearly so, thrown back from 

 the mountains. 



CLOUDS. 



It will be seen that in comparison with the previous year the winter 

 months also show a great number of overcast days, caused by the 

 prevailing southerly winds.
