CHAPTER II
28/97

This morning we have brilliant sunshine and no wind.
Noon 67 deg.

54.5' S., 178 deg.

28' W.Made good S.34 W.37'; C.Crozier 606'.

Fog has spread up from the south with a very light southerly breeze.
There has been another change of conditions, but I scarcely know whether to call it for the better or the worse.

There are fewer heavy old floes; on the other hand, the one year's floes, tremendously screwed and doubtless including old floes in their mass, have now enormously increased in area.
A floe which we have just passed must have been a mile across--this argues lack of swell and from that one might judge the open water to be very far.
