Bay’, saa ser man ud mellem Vogel-klip og Laudet."
Et Stykke ’fra Hoepstock’s Bay "finder man et Nes,
tvers af hvilket der ligger nogle Klipper, som kaldes de
Rudsen"1 ("Zeespiegel").
"Walrusch. Gat" kaldes Kløften udenfor det Nes, som
skyder ud paa Nordsiden af English Bay, og udenfor
hvilket det "Brielske Taarn" staar. Se Fig. 3.
Strax vestenfor Mary Muss Bugt staar paa
"Zee-spiegel’s og Zorgdragers Kart en af Havet opragéiide Klippe.
Nogen saadan saa vi ikke, men vel et Skjær, over hvilket
Søen brød. Klippen er styrtet i Havet.
Paa Kartet i -Zeespiegel" stikker Fugleberget frem
som et langt Nes mod Nord. I beskrivelsen hedder det:
"Fra Østpynten af Mary Muss Bay skyder en Bergfod fra
Landet ud i Søen, meget stejl og høj ved sin Vest-Strand.
Nu er der intet saadant udskydende Nes." Men eier ligger
en Boe udenfor Fugleberget.
Af Sidekratere paa Jan Mayen have vi observeret
flere end der er aflagt i de ældre Karter. Jeg henviser
til Rejsebeskrivelsen ovenfor og Kartet samt Billederne.
De paa Kartet som Kratere betegnede Fjeldtoppe, der
ikke ere omtalte i Rejsebeskrivelsen, ere aflagte efter
Tegningerne og.ere antagne, paa Grund af deres Form% der
er eller nærmer sig den koniske, for at svare til dette Navn.
15 fathoms in South Bay. you look out between Vogel-klip
and the land."
A short distance from Hoepstock’s Bay "there is a
noss, or promontory, off which are seen a few rocks, called
de jRudsen"1 ("Zeespiegel").-
"Walrusch Gåt" is the name given to the chasm
lying without the promontory that juts forth on the north
shore of English Bay. and beyond which rises "Brielle
Tower" (see Fig. 3).
A little west of Mary Muss Bay, both on the map
in the "Zeespiegel" and on that by Zorgdrager, there is a
rock projecting abruptly out of the- sea. We.coulcl discover
no such rock; but we saw a shoal over which the sea was
breaking. The rock in question must at some later period
have’ toppled down into the sea.
On the map in the "Zeespiegel," the Fugleberg
projects towards the north as a long noss. or headland,
described in the account as follows: — "From the east -point
of Mary Muss Bay, the base of a • mountain, very lofty and
precipitous on its west side, juts out from the land into the
sea." Noiv there is no such projecting promontory. A
sunken rock, however, lies off the Fugleberg.
Of parasitic craters on Jan Mayen, we observed a
greater number than are given in the earlier maps of the
island. For further information on this head, the reader
is referred to the above account of our exploratory work.’
as also to the Map and the illustrations. The mountain
summits marked on the map as craters, though not
mentioned in the account of the island, have been laid down
from sketches, and are. by reason of their form, which is
more or less conical, presumably entitled to the’ name.
Adskilt ved dybe Have fra alle nærmeste Lande ligger
Jan Mayen ensom ude i Grønlandshavet. Mellem Norge
og Jau Mayen er Havet 1760 Favne dybt, mod Spidsbergen
over 2000 Favne, mod Grønland over 1300 Favne Og mod
Island over 1000 Favne dybt. Øens Retning er fra NE. t
E.—SW.t W., den peger mod Danmarkstrædet og ligger
parallel Heklas Vulkanlinie. Den er efter alt hvad derom
er blevet observeret, bygget udelukkende af vulkanske
Bergarter, og disse synes alle at tilhøre den moderne
Vulkanisme. Den er saaledes yngre end Færøerne og Island,
livor ældre vulkanske Bergarter ere eneraadende- eller
danne Grundvolden. Dens Længde er lidt over 7’/2
geografisk Mil. Den dannes af to større Dele, den nordlige
og den sydlige, der ere forenede ved en lavere og smalere
Landstrækning. Den nordlige Dels største Bredde er
lidt over 2 geografiske Mile, den sydliges Vj-, geografisk
Mil, og paa det smaleste" Sted er ßredden Vj., Kvartmil
Cut off on all sides by extensive ocean tracts from
the nearest land, the Island of Jan Mayen occupies an
isolated position in the Greenland Sea. Between Norway
and Jan Mayen the depth reaches 1700 fathoms, towards
Spitzbergen upwards of 2000 fathoms, towards Greenland
upwards of 1300 fathoms, and towards Iceland upwards of
1000 fathoms. The direction of the island is from NE. by
E. to SW. by W.; it points towards Denmark Strait, and
lies parallel to the volcanic line of Mount Hecla. As
previously stated. Jan Mayen is built up of volcanic rocks,
all of which would appear, to belong to the modern group.
Hence the island is probably a later formation than are
the Færoes autl Iceland, where the old volcanic rocks prevail
either exclusively or in greater part. Its length slightly
exceeds 71... geographical miles. It consists of two large
parts or divisions, a northern and a southern, connected
together by a lower and narrower tract. The greatest
