 SHOWS IN THE BACKGROUND 



-THE CARROLL GLACIER 



The field of floating ice in front of the Muir Glacier and small bergs left on the beach 

 by falling tides. The Muir Glacier formerly faced about where the group of men are seen, 

 and had solid frontage clear across the inlet about ioo feet high. Now it is back several 

 miles and slopes gradually down to the water. The earthquake of 1899 probably caused the 

 ice to break off more rapidly than it usually did. Its former great beauty is now lost. Photos
