The night was cold, calm, starlit and the Southern Lights flared over Erebus. After breakfast Teddy and I went out to our survey line and completed it. After lunch we went over to another station, but a sudden storm blew up from the south with drift snow and we had to take to our heels immediately.
We spent the rest of the day indoors. This evening Ponting related anecdotes from his journeys in Japan, and we laughed loud and long. It is really rather nice in the hut now that there are so few of us. I wish this situation could continue but tomorrow it will be swarming with people.
Today, again, we are discussing Amundsen; I wonder if the world is too? Our theme at the moment is Amundsen Scott.
