Northward: Peary’s 1908-09 Expedition

Fresh offshore breeze

  • 10-27-1908 – Evening
  • Robert E. Peary
  • Cape Sheridan, Ellesmere Island, CAN

The first clear day for a long time, but the character of the light may be judged from exposures of 45-80 mins. between 10.30 A.M. + 2.-P.M. (diaphragm 32).
    Fresh offshore breeze + water pound at the C. one mile long + ¼ wide, + other parts beyond.
    Photos today of bear + fighting bucks.
    Started the construction of a snow house studio on the main hatch.
    The 2 Porter Bay men should have been in tonight but they are a poor lot.
