VIII.—Notes upon Ice Action in High Latitudes

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

These notes are intended as an appendix to “Notes on the Erosive Power of Glaciers, as seen in Norway” (vide this Magazine, Decade III. 1887, Vol. IV. No. 4, p. 167).

1. The object of my visit to Norway and the Alps was to leave closet-geology in America, in order to make personal observations of the phenomena associated with modern glaciers,—for comparison with those in the region of our Great Lakes, often attributed to land-ice.
