  • Cape Sheridan, Ellesmere Island, CAN

Thirty eight above this morning. it has been up to forty two during the day.  It seemed cold for it has been cloudy about all day.  I was up over the hill and got a few more fossils, took a gun along but didnt see anything to shoot.  There is quite a lot of water running in the valley, almost to the top of my boots and about fifty feet wide where I crossed, narrower and deeper below a little ways. The Bar. is 30.05 tonight the first time it has been above 30 for a long time.
