Glacters on the East Side of Redcliff Peninsula—The Fan and 
Bryant glaciers that have been previously described represent 
the group of ice tongues which protrude from the mer de glace 
of Redcliff peninsula on the south. A group of similar tongues 
push out toward Bowdoin Bay on the east, and two of these 
will now be described, the South Point glacier and the Gnome 
glacier. The general aspect of the east side of Redcliff penin- 
sula is shown by the accompanying photographic illustrations. 
Together the two illustrations form a panoramic view. The point 
of observation is the border of the main ice-cap on the east side of 
Bowdoin Bay. The foreground is the edge of the plateau on which 
the main ice-cap lies. The depression that traverses the middle 
of the view is the valley occupied by Bowdoin Bay. The flat snow 
field beyond and the nearly level sky line show how truly the 
peninsula is a plateau and how far the glacial phenomena are 
dintcremt im general aspect thom tne Alone ihyyoe, Ae tne 
extreme south les the Twin glacier. Just north of it, but 
scarcely shown in the view, is the South Point glacier. At the 
left of the lower view lies the Gnome glacer. At the right hand 
of the lower figure the plateau may be seen to fall away to the 
low neck that connects it with the mainland. The geographic 
relations of these features may be seen by reference to the 
accompanying map of Bowdoin Bay and vicinity. 
South Point Glacier.—Vhis is a lobe of the peninsular ice-cap 
occupying a short valley notched in the edge of the plateau. 
Its width was estimated at one mile and its length at two. It 
descends from the plateau rather abruptly, as is the fashion of 
the valleys of the region. The ice as it makes its descent to the 
valley is interrupted by three islands around which it flows and 
from which it carries away medial moraines. These moraines,
