a dirty brown knell with hide of impure white giving
a distinct but irregular stratification. Numerous fissures
are present as in rock masses. The top of this glacier
is a land moraine, yellowish brown in color, deeply eroded
and almost completely covered with more rounded rocks.
As the ice melts the rocks fall down the slopes into
the valley and from there they roll off down on the
terminal moraine. The moraine adjacent to the glacier
is irregular but a more regular and much higher
one is present some feet away separated from the
inner moraines by a small ravine. Several smaller
and one
streams emerge from underneath the glacier fairly pure
but the large one is quite muddy. Returned to the
camp by six A.M. Lay down until 7.30 when
breakfast was announced. White not finding me in bed began
