PLATE CL MORAINE CONES ON FLOATING GLACIER-ICE. 



FIG. 1 (Map B) From a photograph by L. C. BERNACCHI (Be. 102, ^-plate), Sept. 

 29, 1902; looking S.-W. to Mount Discovery and Brown Island, across a 

 long row of moraine-cones or talus-heaps in the middle distance. 



FIG. 2 (Map B). From a photograph by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 234, J-plate), Dec. 2, 

 1902 ; showing one of the heaps of morainic debris. 



Mount Discovery, in the distance of Fig. 1, is a quiescent volcanic cone. To 

 the right of it is Brown Island. The whole middle distance is taken up by the 

 old and weathered glacier-ice, apparently an overflow which has been forced along 

 Minna Bluff from the Great Ice Barrier. It bears on its surface an enormous 

 amount of morainic material, often in the shape of a long series of moraine-cones 

 or talus-heaps, whence its fantastic weathering.
