THE HEART OF THE ANTARCTIC 



The temperature was just at freezing-point, and the snow 

 melted on the decks when it fell. Altogether about an 

 inch of snow fell between 2 p.m. and midnight. We 

 saw no ice until eight o'clock next morning (January 

 17), and then only one small berg. The wind shifted to 

 the south-east, the sky cleared somewhat, and with 

 an open horizon all round we observed no sign of ice 

 at all.
