The excursions included ocean voyages to Spitzbergen in the 

 Arctic Ocean, and the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. Other 

 trips were made by special train from north to south in Sweden and 

 Norway, furnishing a rare opportunity for seeing under the best 

 possible auspices and chaperonage those localities where are exhib- 

 ited the typical features and points of interest to students of struc- 

 tural, glacial and economic geology, and to the petrographer as well. 

 Thus at Spitzbergen were seen the magnificent glaciers on the 

 margin of the sea, advancing, retreating or stationary. There were 

 studied moraines of various types, the movement of complex glaciers, 

 the deposits of glacial rivers and lakes, and all those various 

 agencies now in operation, performing the samp work as that by 

 which was formerly deposited the glacial drift mantle over the state 

 of Minnesota. 



At Spitzbtrgen also is an excellent opportunity lor the study of 

 a mountain range folded and ruptured on the border of the Atlantic 

 basin, and containing formations of different ages, from the Archean 

 to the Quaternary. Here can be seen the origin of the fjords, those 

 long narrow coastal inlets which make the coast of. Norway, Scotland 

 and British Columbia so picturesque and attractive to the tourist. 

 The clothing appropriate for this excursion in July is that which wc 

 wear in Minnesota in November. 



Excursions were also made before the Congress to the iron mines
