BY JAKOB BJERKENS
This part does not contain any scientific accounts of the meteorological observations undertaken by the expedition in King's Bay, during the flight or during the twenty-four days' stay in 87° 43′ -- this will be left for the scientific journals to publish. I shall only give here a characterization of the "polar-weather" as it was during 1925 and what was done in order to determine the best date for the start.
