The terminal slope of the glacier was steep but not vertical. 
In some portions it curved rapidly downward to the base, but 
for the larger part it dropped away somewhat suddenly from a 
point well up on the brow, the descent being a nearly plane 
slope, at some points even slightly concave. Along a portion 
of the face there had been some undérmelting, giving an 
approach to verticality (see Fig. 19). These terminal features 
place the Igloodahomyne glacier in a class between the Disco _ 
glaciers and the majority of the glaciers of the Inglefield Gulf 
region presently to be described. The Figures 19 and 21 illus- 
trate some of the forms of the terminal slope. 
The transverse profile of the glacier, as seen from the valley 
below, is a quite flat curve, as may be inferred from Fig. 19, the 
point of view of which is oblique and too near, or still better from 
Fig. 5 in the introductory narrative, the point of view of which 
is more distant and more nearly central, although still east of 
the center of the valley. There is, as will be observed, little 
débris on the surface of the glacier except near the side. 
Ascending to the back of the glacier, which was accomplished 
without difficulty from the side, there was found to be consider- 
able débris in the lower part of the ice at its lateral edge, but 
this disappeared as the upper surface was reached. Farther up 
the valley, on the east side, a very considerable lateral moraine 
was observed. 
The ice was found to be solid and almost free from crevasses 
on the eastern side, though here and there fissures gaping a few 
inches were crossed. On the western side crevasses of a few 
feet in breadth were somewhat frequent over a tract adjacent to 
a convex border, to the stretching of which they may doubtless 
be attributed. These crevasses were old and snow-filled for the 
greater part. Only here and there were there indications of freshly 
opened fissures, and these were to be measured rather by inches 
than by feet. 
Although it was then a month past the summer solstice, the 
surface of the glacier was still partially covered with the snows 
of the preceding winter and spring. Remnants occurred at
