"It was the first of May and we
encamped at "Maiden" or "May Point"
camped at 79°17'. Saw much open
land rises evenly to
the north to Depot-Goden
after passing Depot-Goden - "We now
set the course on a high bluish-
black greenish promontory
which we saw to the north and
which we called "Blaa-manden"
or the "The Blue Man". Saw wolf
tracks.
Camped at Sudergraul-Bergat,
north of us was a very high
mountain, which fell perpendicularly
into the sea. So overwhelmingly
large did it appear to us both
that we both thought it to be,
without exception, the highest
mountain we had seen on the
expedition." Afterwards we called
it "Blaafjeld" or "Blue Mountain"
Kvitberg - White Mountain.
At Suder-graul-Bergat found
5 tent-pings and remains of fox
trips. This means "Better
Porridge Mountain". Started back
on May 13 to.
"Vashereaf" or "Fair Cafe"
