[ the summer 1923 I visited Greenland in order to inspect the local 
stations of the Danish Meteorological Institute. Besides I had oppor- 
tunity to make some observations: 
1. regarding the glaciers of the Blæsedalen near Godhavn in the island 
Disko; 
2. regarding the sinking of the land. 
Before commenting on these topics I wish to underline, that my 
observations may be regarded only as set forth by a layman. 
The glaciers of the Blæsedalen in Disko. 
During my stay at Godhavn Mr. M. Porsild, Master of art and 
chief of Den Danske Arktiske Station (The Danish arctic station) laid 
before me some maps, drawings, photos and measurement results, which, 
Professor P-L. Mercanton had sent him and which concerned Mer- 
canton's inspection of the Blæsedal-glaciers in 1912. Further Prof. Mer- 
canton urgently had asked Mr. Porsild to take interest in a repeated 
measurement in the same place, when opportunity might be given. 
Accordingly Mr. Porsild proposed to me to undertake an inspection of 
the glaciers, and I readily complied with this proposal, so much the 
more because I had had myself!) an opportunity to assist at the ex- 
amining of these glaciers in 1897 (see Med. о. Grl. XIV, р. 295). 
Besides placing the said material at my disposal Mr. P. lent me 
an excellent theodolite. Equiped in this way I started on the 6th of 
August on an excursion to the Blæsedalen. 
Mercanton had undertaken some measurements of less importance 
only at my two stations from 1897, whereas I had thence not at all 
occupied myself with the southeast corner of the Lyngmarksbræ, to 
which Mercanton mainly had paid interest in 1912. mem 
My cairns from 1897 stood fairly uninjured, and I undertook there- 
from remeasurements, as also I made drawings and photographs of the 
glaciers. It appeared that more of the fixed points, which I had chosen 
— marked projectings of the mountains — had during the passed 26
