vets Bred. Da vi vare komne paa Højden af Vestre
Kors-Bugt, saa vi en stor Isbræ (AYeyprechts Bræ), der skjød
sig frem i Havet med en bråt Ydervæg, og kort Tid efter
viste sig en lignende, endnu større Isbræ (Kjerulfs Bræ).
Den sidstes yderste bratte Væg var efter de anstillede
Vinkelmaalinger 45 Meter liøj. Bræerne kom frem under
Taagen med en Overflade, der skraanede meget svagere
end de stejle Bræer paa Østsiden. Jeg anslog Heldingen
til c. 10°. Endnu eh 3die Isbræ (Foyns Bræ 1 saaes
østen-for den store. Den var mindre end de to andre. Da vi
en af de følgende Dage atter passerede Nordsiden af Jan
Mayen, laa Taagen højere, saa at vi bedre kunde se,
hvorledes Nordsidens Bræer komme frem af dybe Indskjæringer
i den 300m høje, bratte Fjeldvæg, der her, ligesom paa
Østsiden, danner Beerenbergs Fod ud moe1 Havet. Billedet

a large glacier (Weypreclit’s glacier), jutting into the sea.
with a steep outer wall; and shortly after another came in
sight (Kjerulfs glacier), of still more imposing dimensions,
its precipitous outer wall being found by trigonometrical
measurement to attain an elevation of 150 feet. The
glaciers here, as seen beneath the mist, had the slope of their
surface much nioi’e gradual than the precipitous glaciers on
the east side. I estimated the incline at about 10 degrees.
A third glacier (Foyn’s glacier) was sighted east of the
large one. It was smaller than the other two. On one of
the following days, as we again coursed along the northern
shore of Jan Mayen, the clouds lay higher, affording a
better view of the coast; and on this occasion the glaciers
could be distinctly seen, projecting from deep clefts in the
abrupt mountain-wall, which attains an altitude of 900 feet,
and here, as on the east side, forms the seaward base
of Mount Beerenberg. Fig. 5 gives a view of the 3
