		<description><![CDATA[Went round about the Domain and Ramp with Wilson. We are now pretty well decided as to certain matters that puzzled us at first. The Ramp is undoubtedly a moraine supported on the decaying end of the glacier. A great deal of the underlying ice is exposed, but we had doubts as to whether this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fine bright day. The thread of the balloon sent up to-day broke very short off through some fault in the cage holding the bobbin. By good luck the instrument was found in the North Bay, and held a record. This is the fifth record showing a constant inversion of temperature for a few hundred feet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find that the card of the sunshine recorder showed an hour and a half&#8217;s burn yesterday and was very faintly marked on Saturday; already, therefore, the sun has given us warmth, even if it can only be measured instrumentally. Last night Meares told us of his adventures in and about Lolo land, a wild [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ponting and Gran went round the bergs late last night. On returning they saw a dog coming over the floe from the north. The animal rushed towards and leapt about them with every sign of intense joy. Then they realised that it was our long lost Julick. His mane was crusted with blood and he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A dying wind and clear sky yesterday, and almost calm to-day. The noon sun is cut off by the long low foot slope of Erebus which runs to Cape Royds. Went up the Ramp at noon yesterday and found no advantage &#8211; one should go over the floe to get the earliest sight, and yesterday [...]]]></description>

Last night there was an intensely black cloud low on the northern horizon &#8211; but for earlier experience of the winter one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another night and day of furious wind and drift, and still no sign of the end. The temperature has been as high as 16º. Now and again the snow ceases and then the drift rapidly diminishes, but such an interval is soon followed by fresh clouds of snow. It is quite warm outside, one can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We toasted the sun in champagne last night, coupling Victor Campbell&#8217;s name as his birthday coincides. The return of the sun could not be appreciated as we have not had a glimpse of it, and the taste of the champagne went wholly unappreciated; it was a very mild revel. Meanwhile the gale continues. Its full [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am renewing study of glacier problems; the face of the ice cliff 300 yards east of the homestead is full of enigmas. Yesterday evening Ponting gave us a lecture on his Indian travels. He is very frank in acknowledging his debt to guide-books for information, nevertheless he tells his story well and his slides [...]]]></description>
