[[underlined]] 14 Monday [[/underlined]] Bright clear just few clouds in sky, floating ice- lots of bergs round about. Could be anywhere on high seas except ships in place of bergs - sea of the best in looks behavior & apparent temperature// Of course the morning was too nice to continue about lunch time the clouds began to gather, by mid afternoon the "usual" (so it seems everyday) the leaden sky took over and scattered flakes of snow blew about, and with obscuring of sun it got raw cold and chilly, [[line]] Antarctic petral flew about, and silver grey ("fulmar") passed at rather widely spaced intervals// Saw an ice berg estimated to be over a 100, possibly 187 feet high. After passing the ice "pack", or drifting broken ice patches, spent most of late afternoon evening, night and this morning [[in box]] Jan. 15 Tuesday [[/in box]] [[line across page]] on fairly calm open see with icebergs of various heights and sizes from small to immense, mile long or more,at any time when visibility was good could count over a dozen in sight at one time.
