2deg. F. For five months of theyear we were able to record temperatures below -58deg. F. The temperaturerose with every wind, except the south-west; with that it more usuallywent down. We observed the aurora australis many times, but only a few of itsappearances were specially powerful. They were of all possible forms, though the form of ribbon-like bands seemed to be commonest. Most ofthe aurorae were multicoloured -- red and green. My hypothesis of the solidity of the Barrier -- that is, of i...ts restingupon underlying land -- seems to be confirmed at all points by ourobservations during our twelve months' stay on it. In the course ofthe winter and spring the pack-ice is forced up against the Barrierinto pressure-ridges of as much as 40 feet in height. This took placeonly about a mile and a quarter from our hut, without our noticingits effect in the slightest degree. In my opinion, if this Barrier hadbeen afloat, the effect of the violent shock which took place at itsedge would not merely have been noticeable, but would have shaken ourhouse.
