EXPLANATION OF PLATE XII 



COLUMBIA GLACIER, FROM HEATHER ISLAND 



The glacier is seen from the summit of the island. Its nearest point 

 rests against a smaller island, joined to Heather Island at low tide. 

 The part against the land, though steep, is not a cliff. An ice cliff 

 faces the arm of Columbia Bay seen at the extreme right. At the left 

 of the small island begins the long ice cliff shown in figure 37. At 

 the extreme right, outlined against distant snow, is the hill from which 

 the panorama in plate ix was photographed. See pages 71-81 and 

 plate xi.
