Call this the George B Cluett Glacier

that it is hidden by the snow. Lower
portion of glacier looks concave but
may not be so, as if its profile were
like this: ? No terminal moraine.

Glacier alluvial plain.
We crossed no crevasses and saw
none. Most of the surface is
covered with snow, and this was
its appearance when I first saw it
from the "Cluett" passing the entrance
to the bay at a distance of six miles,
on 11 September. Also when I saw
it from the shore at the head of the
bay a half-mile distant on 24 Sep-

with a neighboring glacier 1/4 mile
to the north is marked. That is most-

more steep or precipitous at its
lower end, is deeply crevassed and
has a strong terminal moraine
along part of its lower end.
The prominent nunatake of the south

greissoid granite or strongly gran-
