and did not return until four months
later. The winter was spent In chang
ing our whole outfit, which on the
depot trips was found to be too
clumsy and solid for the smooth sur
face of the barrier. Besides this, as
much scientific work as possible was
done, and some astonishing meteoro-
logical observations were taken.
Open Water All Winter.
There was very little snow, and
there was open water close by
throughout the winter. For the same
reason higher temperatures had been
expected, but it remained very low.
In five months there were observed
temperatures between minus SO and
go degrees celsius (5S and rs degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit), the lowest
temperature, on the 18th of August,
being minus SO degrees celsius. It
was then calm. On the 1st of August
the temperature was minus So de-
grees celsius, and there were six
meters Of wind. The mean tempera-
ture for the year was minus 26 de-
grees celsius GAS below zero, Fab
renheit).
/ had expected hurricane after hur-
ricane, but l observed only two mod.
crate storms and many excellent au.
roras-in all directions.
The sanitary conditions were of the
best all the winter and when the sun
returned on the Gath OF August he
met the men sound In mind and body
ready to set about the task that had
to be solved.
Already, the day before, we had
brought our sledges to the starting
place for our march toward the south
Only in the beginning of September
did the temperature rise to such ar
extent that there was any question
of setting out.
First Start for the Polo.
On the 9Th of September eight men
with seven sledges, 80 dogs and pro
visions for four months, started. Th,
ground was perfect. The temperatur,
was not bad. The next day It an
peared that we had started too early
as the temperature of the followin,
days fell and was kept steady be
tween minus 80 and so celsius (5
degrees and 76 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit). Personally we did no
suffer at all from this cold. Our goo
furs protected us. But with our dog
it was different matter. 1t woul
