Land.
 On the 18th we reached S4 degrees where we established depot. In the 18th we were at s. degrees. where also We made q depot.
 From our wintcr quarters "fsranlheirn'' GS degrees and aS minutes south latitude. We had marched due south On the 17th of November at S lcgrecs We arrived a d place where the land and barrier were connected This was done without any great difficulty. The barrier here rises nndulated to about BOO feet. Some few big crevices indicated the limited
 Leaves 30 Days Provisions
 Here, We made our head depot taking provisions for sixty days on sledges and leaving thirty days provisions on the spot.
 The land under which We lay and which We not had to attack looked qnite impas- ing The nearest summits along the bar Ter had a height from 00o to 10 000 feet. hut several others further south were 15.- 000 feet or more.
 The next day we began the climb. The first pat of it was an easy task-light slopes and well filled mountain sides. It did not take long time. for our willing dogs worked their way up Further up, met with some small but very steep glaciers. Here We had to harness ea dogs to each sledee and take the four sledges in i've turns. In some places it waS sN steep that it was difficult to use
 some big glaciers forced ne from time to t"c to make detours. The first day We climbed e00 feet. the next day most hcfght of i 5e1 feet The third day We were obliged to go down o1 mighty ga- eier. "ANel Heihere's Cilacier' which di- Vidcd the coast mountains and the noun tains further south.
 Camped Between Two Mountains.
 The next day began the loncest part of the climb. Many detours had to be made ln ordcr to avoid broad cracks and open ereEtces These wcro apparently mostly filed up as the glacier in all pr0ha bilitv had long go stopped moving, but We had to be very careful. never knowing for certain how thick was the layer that covered them. 0Hr camp that night lay in very picturesque surroundings at a height of GOO feet. The glacier here was narrowed in between tfa two 15. .090 feet high megntai0s the "Frdtiof Nan Zen" and the "Bon Pedro Christopher son" From the bottom of the glacier ] rose Mount 0Ieenglestad'- big snow cone f3.5o0 feet high.
 The glacier waS very much broken in this comparatively narrow pass The mighty creviccs seemed ta stop us from going further. but it was not so serious as It appeared Our dogs which up to this time. had covered distance of about 700 kilometcrs. the last day severe hard work ran this day 8 ko- meters. the ascent being 5.600 feet an al i most incredtahle record
 It took us only four days from the bar rier to get up on the vast inland plateau
 We Camped that night at T height of 10 600 feet Here we had to kill twenty four of our brave companions. and keep eiehteen, six for each of our three sledges.
 In eiizzard Four Days.
 We stopped here four days on account Of bad weather We set oE. on the 2Sth of November in a furious blizzard and in deusee snow drift. absolutely noth- 1 ing to be seen, but we felt that. contrary ] to expectations, We were going fast down 500 feet
 The next day was similar The weather cleared a little at dinner time and exposed to our view a mighty mountain range to the east and not far off. only for moment and then 1t dis appeared in the dense snow drift. On the 29th it calmed down and the sun shone. though 1t was not the only pleas ant surprise he rave. In our course stretched big glacier running toward the south. At It's eastern end was a mountain range going in the southeast ] ern direction; of the western part of it no view was to be had, 1t being hidden in the dense fog. At the foot of this i glacier. the Devils Glacier" a depot for six days was established at S6.2 de erees south latitude The hypsometer in- ! dtcated s. GOO feet above the sea level. On November 30 we began to climb the glacier The lower part of 1t was very much broken and dangerous Moreover the snow bridges very often burst From oHr camp that night we had a splendid view over the mountain 10 the east There was "IIelmer Hansen's Hummit ' the most remarkable glacier Of them all II was 12 6o0 feet high. and covered with sacn broken glaciers that. in all prob ability. no foothold was to be found "Oscar Wistincs !"
