4 ALASKA GLACIERS 



Reid and Geikie inlets in a rowboat. This excursion oc- 

 cupied four days, three camps being made on the shores 

 of the bay. 



In Yakutat Bay I landed at Hidden and Nunatak gla- 

 ciers and at the summer village of the Yakutat Indians. 

 Two days were spent, with Muir, Gannett, and Kearney, 

 in a boat excursion which visited Hubbard Glacier and 

 Osier and Haenke islands. 



In Prince William Sound I touched at Orca, and was 

 then left at Columbia Glacier with a boat and shore party, 

 including Palache, Coville, and Curtis, while the ship ex- 

 plored Port Wells. We remained three days, and after- 

 ward had a partial view of Harriman Fiord. 



In Cook Inlet I was landed for a half day at Grewingk 

 Glacier, while the ship made an excursion up the main 

 bay. 



I was with the ship on all routes about Kadiak Island, 

 landed briefly on the western coast, spent several days at 

 and near Kadiak village, and visited Long Island. 



At Port Clarence I was of a party that crossed the bay 

 in a launch and visited the mainland. 



Photographs. For the study of changes in the size 

 of glaciers photographic views are of peculiar value. A 

 view showing a glacier or part of a glacier in relation to 

 details of adjacent land constitutes a record which can at 

 any time be compared either with the objects themselves 

 or with another photograph made in another year or 

 month. That a photograph may have its highest value 

 for such use its date must be known, including year, 

 month, and day of month. The Harriman Expedition 

 carried many cameras and secured a large number of 

 views of glaciers. Some of these views are reproduced 

 in the present and preceding volumes, and are thus made 

 available for the investigator. So far as they are contained 

 in this volume, their dates are given in the associated text.
