We had another beautiful day yesterday, and one began to feel that the summer really had come; but to-day, after a fine morning, we have a return to blizzard conditions. It is blowing a howling gale as I write. Yesterday … Continue reading →

We were away by 10.30 yesterday. Walked to the Glacier Tongue with gloomy forebodings; but for one gust a beautifully bright inspiriting day. Seals were about and were frequently mistaken for the motors. As we approached the Glacier Tongue, however, … Continue reading →

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Scott

Couldn’t see the motors yesterday till I walked well out on the South Bay, when I discovered them with glasses off the Glacier Tongue. There had been a strong wind in the forenoon, but it seemed to me they ought … Continue reading →

Tuesday 10th October 1911, Had Hoped For Better Things This Month

Posted on October 11, 2011 by admin

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Scott

Hut Point. Everything ready for starting this morning, but of course it ‘Blizzed.’ Weather impossible—much wind and drift from south. Wind turned to S.E. in afternoon—temperatures low. Went for walk to Cape Armitage, but it is really very unpleasant. The … Continue reading →
