		<description><![CDATA[The sky was overcast this morning and the temperature up to -13º. Went out after lunch to &#8216;Land&#8217;s End.&#8217; The surface of snow was sticky for ski, except where drifts were deep. There was an oppressive feel in the air and I got very hot, coming in with head and hands bare. At 5, from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Am busy with my physiological investigations. Atkinson reported a sea leopard at the tide crack; it proved to be a crab-eater, young and very active. In curious contrast to the sea leopard of yesterday in snapping round it uttered considerable noise, a gasping throaty growl. Went out to the outer berg, where there was quite [...]]]></description>

On the way my companionable dog was heard barking and dimly seen &#8211; we went towards him and found that he was worrying a young sea leopard. This is the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quite an excitement last night. One of the ponies (the grey which I led last year and salved from the floe) either fell or tried to lie down in his stall, his head being lashed up to the stanchions on either side. In this condition he struggled and kicked till his body was twisted right [...]]]></description>

He has shown great courage in undertaking the task, great perseverance in unearthing facts from books, and a considerable practical skill in stringing these together. It is a thankless task [...]]]></description>

It makes an enormous difference to the enjoyment of this life if one is able to get out and stretch one&#8217;s legs every day. This morning I went up the Ramp. No sign of open water, so that my fears for a broken [...]]]></description>

The weather conditions are certainly very interesting; Simpson has again called attention to the wind in February, March, and April at Cape Evans &#8211; the record shows an extraordinary large percentage of gales.

The moon has gone and there is little to attract one out of doors. Atkinson gave us an interesting little discourse on parasitology, with a brief account of the life history of some ecto- and [...]]]></description>

The &#8216;go cart&#8217; consists of a framework of steel tubing supported on four bicycle wheels. The surface of the floes carries 1 to 2 inches of snow, barely [...]]]></description>
