PLATE XCV. KCETTLITZ GLACIER. 



From photographs by A. B. ARMITAGE (A. 10-12 inclusive, ^-plates), Dec. 7, 

 1903 ; taken from the southern extremity of the Royal Society Range 

 foot-hills, at a height of 2450 feet above sea- level, and including an 

 angle from S.-E. through S. to S.-W. (Map B.) 



There is abundant evidence in this panorama of the recession of glaciers in 

 these latitudes. On the right of the picture, for instance, is a valley basin strewn 

 with moraine which was at one time buried under many hundreds of feet of ice. 

 But now all that remains in the basin is the deposited moraine, while three ice- 

 slabs, fast disappearing year by year in summer streams, fail even to reach the 

 valley which once they overfilled. 



The panorama shows Kcettlitz Glacier, flowing from the inland ice upon the 

 right to pass between the southern extremity of the Royal Society Range on the 

 north, and Mount Morning, Mount Discovery, and Brown Island on the south.
