9 The glacier (m.k.j.gl.) at Peterarik presents a long front to the sea (2-3 miles I should think) and is active. Ace says many bergs come off from it in the summer - Saw two deep arches in it. Its surface as far as I could see was extremely uneven & serene. As we rounded the next point to S Ace called my attention to the numerous hare tracks in the snow which I could easily see and poin ted out some hares which I am not at all sure that I could see. Soon Obovich, who was in the lead, stopped, got his rifle out from un der the lashings and started for the hedge. We stopped too of course and watched him - A hundred feet or more above the sea he stopped, made his rifle crackled two or three times and we saw an object rolling down the snow slope. It stopped only a few yards from his upward path - convenient retrieving! Meanwhile Adekahings had started the primus and Ace had gone to a little berg 100 yards away for a chunk of good ice for water. I asked him why he didn't use the fresh snow lying all about us. He anti- cipated that the ice was better.
