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
