Steenstrup's Glacier forms the
coast line for more than Twenty
miles south of Cape Seddon. Its sur-
face is a maze of seracs and its
front is vertical. Evidently it is
active and many bergs come
from it yearly. I should say that its
front edge rose 30 to 60 feet above the
level of the sea, but we did not approach
near enough to it for a good estimate.
At its northern edge beside the main-
land back of Cape Seddon the valley
looks as if it might give a route
descent from the ice cap.
Several nunataks rise into the glacier.
