EXPLANATION OF PLATE XII 
Columbia Glacier, from Heather Island 
The glacier is seen from the summit of the island. Its nearest point 
rests against a smaller island, joined to Heather Island at low tide. 
The part against the land, though steep, is not a cliff. An ice cliff 
faces the arm of Columbia Bay seen at the extreme right. At the left 
of the small island, begins the long ice cliff shown in figure 37. At 
the extreme right, outlined against distant snow, is the hill from which 
the panorama in plate ix was photographed. See pages 71-81 and 
plate xi. 
From a photograph made by E. S. Curtis, June 25, 1899. Nega¬
