424 Alf Trolle. HydrographicalObservationsfrom the Danmark Expedition. 



In 1908, on the other hand, we could sail out for home in the 

 beginning of July. 



The harbour is deepest in the eastern part — the depth is here 

 from .SO — 60 m. — and deep close to Østre Havnenæs; from Vestre 

 Havnenæs a reef extends out from land with 2 m. of water ca. 100 m. 

 from shore and 7 m. at 200 m. and then the depth increases to 26 m. 

 about 400 m. from land. 



The anchors of the "Danmark" lay in 13 and 11 m. of water 

 south of the outlet from the western water-course. The bottom here 

 gave good holding ground. Inside the anchors it first became deeper 

 (16 m.) and then shallowed, so that at the stern of the "Danmark", 

 ca. 50 m. from land, there was a depth of 10 — 5 m., sloping rapidly 

 up to the beach. 



Sonja Havn lies on the S. E. side of Lille Ivoldewey Island. It 

 is considerably smaller than Danmarks Havn and but little Avater 

 from the melting snow and ice flows into it, but it became ice-free 

 almost at the same time and may be considered as a good harbour. 



Absalon Havn and Dagmar Havn lie on the N. E. side of Store 

 Koldewey Island. They are excellent and safe harbours to approach, 

 but as they face towards the north they are more risky as wintering 

 harbours. — They were free of ice, however, in both summers, 1907 

 and 1908.
