 Welcome to the Cook Islands Herald
Framheim was the first on the witness stand and told the court that he had first discussed returning to the Cook Islands as a representative for the Tepaki group at a private dinner at the home of the developer on 29 September 2004.
Framheim was on very friendly terms with Tepaki and his wife and in fact was working as a consultant with them on one of their companies called Timco.
Framheim claims they worked 18 hour days, seven days a week and did not ever receive their agreed salary of $800 weekly, because there was never enough in the account to cover that sum, with only enough funds to cover $300 weekly.

  Remarks on the Meteorological Observations at Framheim
The meteorological station at Framheim was arranged in this way: the barometers, barograph, and one thermograph hung inside the house; they were placed in the kitchen, behind the door of the living-room, which usually stood open, and thus protected them from the radiant heat of the range.
A thermometer, a hygrometer, and the other thermograph were placed in a screen on high posts, and with louvred sides, which stood at a distance of fifteen yards to the south-west of the house.
The two mercury barometers, the Fuess normal, and the Adie standard barometer, reached Framheim in good condition; as has been said, they were hung in the kitchen, and the four pocket aneroids were hung by the side of them.

Early 1911, unbeknownst to Scott, the Fram Party was setting up camp, "Framheim," on the Great Ice Barrier in the Bay of Whales not far from the British camp (see map).
The lone watchman aboard the Fram was alarmed by what he thought was the sound of the Great Ice Barrier calving, perhaps taking Framheim and its inhabitants into the Bay.
In addition to the Norwegians' expertise, preparation and focus, Framheim was 60 miles closer to the Pole than Scott's camp, the movement of ice never cut it off from the route to the Pole, it was always accessible to the ship and there was an abundance of seals for man and dog.
