		<description><![CDATA[The Crozier Party returned last night after enduring for five weeks the hardest conditions on record. They looked more weather-worn than anyone I have yet seen. Their faces were scarred and wrinkled, their eyes dull, their hands whitened and creased with the constant exposure to damp and cold, yet the scars of frostbite were very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The month has opened with a very beautiful day. This morning I took a circuitous walk over our land &#8216;estate,&#8217; winding to and fro in gulleys filled with smooth ice patches or loose sandy soil, with a twofold object. I thought I might find the remains of poor Julick &#8211; in this I was unsuccessful; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was overcast to-day and the light not quite so good, but this is the last day of another month, and August means the sun. One begins to wonder what the Crozier Party is doing. It has been away five weeks. The ponies are getting buckish. Chinaman squeals and kicks in the stable, Nobby kicks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two quiet days, temperature low in the minus thirties &#8211; an occasional rush of wind lasting for but a few minutes. One of our best sledge dogs, &#8216;Julick,&#8217; has disappeared. I&#8217;m afraid he&#8217;s been set on by the others at some distant spot and we shall see nothing more but his stiffened carcass when the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Calmer days: the sky rosier: the light visibly advancing. We have never suffered from low spirits, so that the presence of day raises us above a normal cheerfulness to the realm of high spirits. The light, merry humour of our company has never been eclipsed, the good-natured, kindly chaff has never ceased since those early [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is really very little to be recorded in these days, life proceeds very calmly if somewhat monotonously. Everyone seems fit, there is no sign of depression. To all outward appearance the ponies are in better form than they have ever been; the same may be said of the dogs with one or two exceptions. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This and the better ventilation of the stable make for improvement we think &#8211; perhaps the increase of salt allowance is also beneficial. To-day we have another raging blizzard &#8211; the wind running up to 72 m.p.h. in gusts &#8211; one way and another the Crozier Party must have had a pretty poor time. I [...]]]></description>

Went out to the old working crack north of Inaccessible Island &#8211; Nelson and Evans had had great difficulty in rescuing their sounding sledge, which had been left near here before the gale. The course of events is not very clear, but it [...]]]></description>

This fleeting hour of light is very pleasant, but of course dependent on a clear sky, very rare.
