Sverdrup's Cairn on Melville Island off Heiberg Land 80°55' W. "Up on a little knoll some few hundred yards from the tent, we found a place where there were the necessary material. Out of the cairn we placed a tall stone, in which Fosheim made a hole with a chisel for a flagstaff, which bore the Norwegian flag." We then took a meridian altitude, which when worked out on the log gave a latitude of 80°55' and placed under the cairn a record of our journey on the west coast, to which we added the latitude we had observed." 81 20 80 39 25 miles down the coast North of Cairn "a rather long strip of land" The northernmost point we saw and which appeared to be about 15 miles off looked like an island"
