(Ill" 22’) og Toppens Vinkelhøjde over Horizonten (8° 40’).
Horizonten bestemtes ved Hjelp af Wredes Niveller-Spejl,
med hvilket jeg merkede mig et tydeligt Punkt paa Fjeldet
ret under Toppen, i Stenvardens Niveau. Kommen ombord
maalte jeg Vinkelen mellem Stenvarden og Toppen af
73 metres. Moreover, I measured with the sextant the
angle subtending between the •’Vøringen" and the summit
of Mount Misery (1110 22’), as also the angle of elevation of
the latter above the horizon (8° 40’). The horizon was
determined by means of AVrede’s leveiling-mirror, with which
Fig. S. Mount Misery.
Mount Misery (48° 9’) samt Toppens Højdevinkel over
Horizonten (7° 56’, corrigeret for Kimmingdaling).
Herefter beregnes Afstandeu Stenvarde—Top til 3914 Meter.
Afstanden Skib—Top til 3131 Meter, og Højdeforskjellen
mellem de to første Punkter til 472 Meter, mellem de to
sidste til 541 Meter. Lægges hertil de respective
Standpunkters Højde over Havet, 73 Meter og 3 Meter, faaes
som Resultat 545 og 544 Meter. Den sidste Bestemmelse
har jeg antaget som den sikreste, og sætter saaledes Mount
Miserys Hojde til 544 Meter eller 1785 engelske Focl.
Dette er et større Tal end den paa Søkarterne, formentlig
efter et Skjøn, angivne Højde af 120U Fod.
I marked a point on the mountain, in the vertical plane
of the summit, and level with the mound. On returning
to the vessel, I measured the angle subtending between the
mound and the summit of Mount Misery (48° 9’), as also
the angle of elevation of the latter above the horizon (7°
56’, corrected for the dip). The distance between the
mound and the summit. was then computed, and found to
be 3914 metres, that between the ship and the summit
3131 metres, and the difference in altitude between the
two first-mentioned points 472 metres, between the two
last-mentioned 541 metres. Now, if to these figures be
added the height above the sea of the respective
standpoints, viz. 73 metres and 3 metres, the result will be
545 and 544 metres. The latter determination I regard
as the more trustworthy of the two. and have therefore
put the altitude of Mount Misery at 544 metres, or 1785
English feet above the sea-level. This exceeds the height given
in the charts — 1200 feet, the result probably of estimation.
