■with much difficulty owing to the surf, though the sea was 

 very calm. On the loch were great flocks of Red-throated 

 Divers. I counted 69 in front of me, and there were twice 

 that number in the distance. Very striking also was the 

 number of Arctic Skuas, and amongst them were several 

 Great Skuas. As many as a dozen would sit within gunshot 

 of me at one moment. The only other inhabitants of this 

 dreary waste were a few Great Black-backed Gulls and 

 hundreds of Arctic Terns, on the proceeds of whose fishing 

 the Skuas probably lived. 



The following morning I landed again, hoping to explore 

 further, but, though there was no wind, the swell had 

 increased, and after taking a few photographs I was com- 

 pelled to leave. The dinghey was half filled with water and 

 nearly upset, but we got off with the loss of an oar, and I 

 was sorry that the fear of rising wind deterred me from 

 further exploring this remarkable place. The only bird 

 added to my list of the previous evening was the Great 

 northern Diver. 



After a visit to a whaling-station I left Iceland.
