what was thought to be a hanging gla-
cier coming down from the southern
cliffs 200 yds ± west of the south branch
of the cluett glacier has a broad high
foot projecting on the plain and
is therefore a piedmont glacier -
The east side of this foot has been e-
roded by the wind driven snow
from the Cluett Glacier so as to show
at its base a vertical cliff face 15-
20 feet high. This face shows much
sand, mingled with angular bits of
rock, for six feet above the ground
(the plain) on which it rests. Above
the sandy ice the glacier shows many
scattered angular block-stones six to
twelve inches and more across, pro-
jecting from the ice. The vertical
face furthermore has been scooped
out in shallow, wavy depressions
which are polished and oily in ap-
pearance. Where foot I was
rounded & polished & grooved -
shows two well marked thin
bands of sand above the lower
big one
