4'2 SCOTTS LAST EXPEDITION [Octo»kk 
From the Glacier Tongue wc still pushed north. We 
reached Dunlop Island on the 24th just before the fog 
descended on us, and got a view along the stretch of coast 
to the north which turns at this point. 
Dunlop Island has undoubtedly been under the sea. 
Wc found regular terrace beaches with rounded water- 
worn stones all over it ; its height is 65 feet. After visiting 
the island it was easy for us to trace the same terrace 
formation on the coast; in one place we found water- 
worn stones over 100 feet above sea-level. Nearly all 
these stones arc erratic and, unlike ordinary beach pebbles, 
the under sides which lie buried have remained angular. 
Unlike the region of the I'Vrrar Glacier and New 
Harbour, the coast to the north of C. Bcrnacchi runs on 
in a succession of rounded bays fringed with low ice walls. 
At the headlands and in irregular spots the gncissic base 
rock and portions of moraines lie exposed, offering a suc- 
cession of interesting spots for a visit in search of geological 
specimens. Behind this fringe there is a long undulating 
plateau of snow rounding down to the coast ; behind this 
again are a succession of mountain ranges with deep-cut 
valleys between. As far as we went, these valleys seem 
to radiate from the region of the summit reached at the 
head of the I'Vrrar Glacier. 
As one approaches the coast, the i tablecloth 1 of snow 
in the foreground cuts off more and more of the inland 
peaks, and even at a distance it is impossible to get a 
good view of the inland valleys. To explore these over 
the ice cap is one of the objects of the Western 
Tarty.
