The concen- tration off the pack boundary consisted of brash, block and belts of slush. There tvas a lead into Scoresby Sound. The coverage up to 150 miles of the Greenland Coast consisted of from x/io to 5/io pack ice and ice fields. Many puddles and small lakes of open water were sighted. JUNE 1956. The average distance of the ice boundary from Straumnes was 80 miles, t.he nearest approach about 60 miles, but several fields and strips were observed at 25—30 miles distance at the end of period. 6/e The pack boundary extended from 6850/ 1930 to 6725/2515 to 6615/2835 to 6625/3045 to 6517/3320 to 6615/3500.
