10 after 10 PM and went to bed. November 3 woke up too late for breakfast but had a cup of coffee some coffee cake at Barracuda at 9 went down to air strip and boarded a small single engined plane. When warmed up took off about 9:30 AM headed for foot of Bebenham Glacier to the west and flew up the next dry valley to the north. Sides had small hanging valley glaciers and small poolson valley floor, stratified bands of pale rock and black (volcanic ash?) glacier in upper part of valley soil cracked in hexagonal areas, cracks filled with snow at 5000 feet little vegetation seen except possible stands of Usnea and Umbilicaria in a few cases. Flew to the ice fields above the glaciers thence northward and down another glacier to coast, with a little open water beyond the coastal ice shelf and back to the air strip about noon. The more distant peaks and nunataks had a decided bluish purple color in contrast to the shining white icefields. Mr Bourne, officer of Defence Attaché British Embassy Washington left for New Byrd this noon. Mr Gjelvre, Norwegian Polar Institute and Mr Robin of Scott Polar Institute leave this week and Bank fatigue notes in afternoon.
