Excerpt: ...feet high) at the southwestern extreme of Fridtjof Nansen Island, and camped on the snow-slope on the western side. Course: N. 70 W. (true), 7 miles. Total, 7 miles. The incline of the rough glacier is small, not more than from six to eight degrees, and the country behind is about nine hundred or a thousand feet high. The two high headlands to the east (800 feet high) and one 1300 feet high send down the ice from their caps and form the glacier. I think it would have been nearly impossible to take a sledge across it, owing to its broken-up character. One berg lying just off the face of the glacier had evidently been rolled over and over in front of the advancing ice, and was as black as an ink-bottle from the crown to the base. I am doubtful if this plateau is a raised beach, as the stones on the surface showing above the snow are pointed and angular, and exhibit no signs of water-wear. I could find no drift-wood, but the spot is not a likely one for it. The height is about eighty feet. It may, however, be a raised beach, but covered with angular debris from the rocks above. Snow rendered an examination difficult. April jth, Saturday.--As soon as I turned out, the weather being fairly clear except to the eastward towards the rotten floes and the open water, I ascended to the top of the plateau and took bearings and sketches. We then packed up and proceeded across the Robert Peel Sound towards the round of the glacier to the Afterwards named by me after Dr. Nansen. north of Guy's Head, which I named after Guy's Hospital out of compliment to our doctor, who studied there, where we took an observation for latitude and longitude last spring. In common with all the other ice we have met with, the sound has cleared out since last spring, and...

Excerpt: ...and a gun-case with the government rifle inside--which, fortunately, did not proceed to distribute bullets around--burning large holes in each. The fire spread so quickly that it burned the horizontal bar of the sledge. It was but a momentary excitement; but it came as a blessing, for it gave us food for conversation for hours afterwards and jokes at Blomkvist's expense. April 2d, Thursday.--Started in a dense mist with overcast sky, and soon after leaving camp it began to snow. We pushed on down the narrow fjord, finding great difficulty in seeing a way, as owing to the fog the land seemed to surround us, and no outlet was visible. I had much trouble in keeping the pony's snowshoes on, as the canvas has got very hard and stiff and chafes her feet just above the hoofs. I must improve upon them for next year. We stopped for lunch under the lee of a berg, having gone four miles. We always dislike stopping for lunch, as we get very cold in the process. Imagine sitting on a sledge, six inches from the ice, in thickly falling and driving snow, with a high and bitter wind blowing, trying to cook one's food. Every now and then we would get up and stamp about to restore the circulation to freezing feet, or to swing one's arms across our chests to induce warmth to our bodies and frost-bitten fingers. We did not linger longer than was necessary over it, and were always glad to move on again and return to our tugging and hauling at the sledges, tired though we might be. It was still snowing heavily, with a fresh southerly breeze, and was very misty and overcast. The land appeared to shut us in ahead, but the light was such that we could see nothing a quarter of a mile away to be sure of it. We pushed on, and presently an exit opened out in front of...
