FRONTISPIECE 



\ 

 Land ice and sea ice. In the background a valley glacier with lateral and 

 medial moraines terminates in a fiord which is covered with sea ice. Icebergs 

 calved from the glacier are frozen into the sea ice. Puddles of melt water have 

 formed on the sea ice surface and run together to form an extensive network. The 

 continuity of the sea ice cover is interrupted by a lead across the mouth of the 

 fiord and by shore leads along the shore line. A small ice tongue at the left 

 has too little erosive power to reach sea level. In the center along the shore there 

 are three or four talus slopes.
