Feb 19th. Left at our pony for Nelikomsuk & Iginiqik. The dogs ask you and men charge it much but I can see nothing to do but pay the price. Trek south across fjord from Nelikomsuk and from there sledges to Iginiqik, clean and snow is melting, ice covered with wet slush. Reached Iginiqik at 8 in evening very tired Stay with Mr Johnson the Danish trader who has a very little english. From here that snow and ice are bad for land trool & Holsten brig. It has snowed recently and now we only has sport ice. Shall go to Ikarasorsuk tomorrow once try to get it again by boat.
