10 giver et meget vildt Skue. Vi passerede i en Afstand af 21/3 Kvartmil. glaciers on the north side as they appeared to us. In the l! foreground lie prodigious rampart-like masses of debris; Fig. 5. Nordsidens Brreer. — The Glaciers of the North Coast. Kl. 9 om Aftenen passerede vi Nordostkap. Yi kunde nu se lltekken af de stejle Braeer paa 0stsiden. Der var ikke Here end 5 saadanne, som naaede Havfladen. Deres indbyrdes Beliggenhed bestemte- jeg ved at notere de 0jeblikke efter Uret, da hver af 4em observeredes tvers paa Kursen, der holdtes uforandret og med jevn- Fart. Kl. 12,45 Min. om Morgenen ankrede vi i den store Bffik- ved-Bugt paa 12 Favne Yand, udenfor Lagunen, i Vest for JEgoen. • Denne Dag, den 31te Juli, bleve vi liggende paa vor Ankerplads. Taagen fordelte sig noget, saa noget mere af Landet blev syn'ligt; men Beerenberg var fremdeles til- hyllet. Derimod var Solen jevnlig fremme om Formiddagen og en Del af Eftermiddagen. Da Sogangen hindrede' Land- gang, toges Solhojder fra Skibet. Om Eftermiddagen forsogtes Landgang med to Baade, men Braendingen var for svaer til at man turde vove Forspg paa at bringe Instruinenter i Land. Vi roede langs Lagun- the glaciers, too, are jagged and riven, and discoloured with dirt; altogether it is a wild scene. We passed at the dis- tance of two and one-third miles. By 9 o’clock in the evening we had rounded Cape North-East; and now the series of precipitous glaciers on the east side of the island came in sight. Only 5 of these reached to the water’s edge. Their relative position I de- termined by noting, watch in hand, the exact moment at which each was observed abreast of the vessel, keeping the same course and speed. At 12.45 a. m. we cast anchor in Great Wood Bay, in 12 fathoms, off the lagoon lying west of Egg' Island. The rest of the day, July 31st, we passed at our anchorage. The fog dispersing a little, more could be seen of the land; Mount Beerenberg, however, was still wrapped in clouds. Meanwhile, we had the sun out most of the fore part of the day, and at intervals in the afternoon. The swell being too heavy to admit of landing, a series of solar altitudes was taken from the ship. In the afternoon two boats put off for the shore; but there was too much surf to risk landing the instruments. We rowed along the barrier of the lagoon to Egg Island,
