The southern branch of the Chielit glacier is much steeper in front than its northern branch - Its surface now is hardened snow. The front decreases in height from the nunataks to the cliff, apparently on account of the scouring action of the northeast wind and the drifting of the snow against the nunatak. Furthermore it seems likely that the swirling of the N.E. wind over the nunataks and against the cliffs is the cause of the steepness of the front, A and then back to N.W. due to foot of the little Piedmont glacier.
