(Pl. XVI) gives a view of this enormous group of mountains 
seen at a great distance (40 kilometers) from the east, and the 
scenery is yet far more picturesque on the north eastern side, 
where four hanging glaciers are fed by the snow masses of the 
Igdlerfigsalik. 
Only in one place does the inland ice extend to the area 
shown on the map (Plate IV), namely in the northern arm of 
the Korok Fjord. Here a rather narrow branch of the large 
mer-de-glace forces its way among the steep bluffs, and forms 
a large number of icebergs. By the wind these are quickly 
driven to the place where the Korok Fjord unites with the 
Tunugdliarfik, but here their progress is arrested by a sub- 
marine moraine, and they are packed in such numbers that the 
entrance to the Korok Fjord is blocked up during the greater 
part of the year. In August and September, however, it will 
nearly always be easy for a boat to make her way through the 
ice. Other large moraines are found at Kiagtut, but they are 
all on dry land. 
Three large rivers are to be found in this region: at 
Kiagtut, in Giesecke’s Dale (the eastern part of the Korok 
Fjord), and at Kagsiarsuk (the eastern branch of the Igaliko 
Fjord). All three of them are mighty, turbid streams, taking 
their rise from the outlet of the inland ice, and having 
formed large deltas at the mouths, where it is very difficult 
to land. 
There are three rock formations in the igaliko territory 
viz: basement rock, red sandstone, and newer abyssal rocks. 
The basement rock is a granite which is supposed to be of Al- 
gonkian age, and it is denoted here as the ‘‘Julianehaab granite”. 
The red sandstone the ‘‘Igaliko sandstone” lies directly upon 
the granite. The sandstone formation is deposited in fairly 
horizontal strata. It contains numerous sills und dykes of dark 
coloured igneous rocks. Whilst the sandstone formation in the 
Ilimausak district is present in its original thickness and covered
