TRIANGULATION PARTY RETURNING 



FROM A TRIP 

 GLACIER 



TO A STATION NEAR THE MUIR 



This outfit spent fourteen successive hours working the boat through the floating ice. 

 In eight of the fourteen hours no land was visible, and part of that time the bow of the boat 

 was almost invisible from the stern. A dense fog covered everything, and the boat was 

 navigated by a pocket compass. Some of the bergs were very large, and the fact that they 

 break up and roll over without any apparent reason and without any warning, made this trip 

 extremely dangerous. Photos by E. R. Martin, Alaskan Boundary Survey.
