Not much ice is exposed on the G.P. 27 of the glacier at this season of the year, but toward southern side of glacier noted several (4±) long low round- ed longitudinal ridges of smooth, fitted ice. Perhaps these are the remains of snow-drifts of former years. South side of glacier also shows strong valley be- tween it and the land. An east-facing side of a point of the land which forms a core retreating from the main glacier presents a moat between it and a snowdrift glacier with a beautiful cornice and long icicles above the vertical polished ice surface. As we mounted higher and higher the wind diminished in strength and on the summit we felt none. Added a stone to the cairn put up a fortnight ago by Ekblaw and Capt. Pickeis. View
