— ^Everything appeared to combine against us : weather, snow ice, and sickness ! In spite of these evils our tents were struck and a start made ; but after advancing for half a mile, which took us exactly three and a half hours to accomplish, we arrived at such a confused heap of hummocks that, Digitized by VjOOQIC 1876] HUMMOCKS DISCOLOURED BY MUD. 301 with the dense fog prevailing and the falling snow, it was impossible to make any headway. To persevere would have been imprudent. The tents we...re accord- ingly pitched, and we consoled ourselves by saying that the rest would be productive of much good to our sick companions, for even those that had to be carried on the sledges could get no rest whilst being dragged and jolted and sometimes capsized over the roughest road imaginable. After lunch, the weather clearing a little, we employed ourselves in cutting a road through an amorphous conglomeration of ice for quite three-quarters of a mile. The pack over which we were travelling appeared to consist of numerous small floes, the largest being barely one hundred yards across at its widest diameter, but the majority much smaller, and each of these floes was surrounded by a mass of hummocks piled up and lying one on top of the other to the height of twenty and thirty feet : the belts of hummocks being from thirty to forty yards in breadth.
