Extract

The fluctuations which take place from time to time in the lengths of glaciers are extremely interesting to the glaciologist; for there are good reasons for believing that the meteorological conditions which give rise to the lesser oscillations of glaciers are generally of the same character as those which produced the great secular changes of climate which occurred in past ages.
