MANY ALASKA GLACIERS
AUK STBADILV GROWING
Washington, July 24 ? It la very
prot ble that more American travel
ers arc familiar with tho picturesque
fiords and glaciers of Scandinavia
than have viewed the Incomparable
scenory afforded by tho coast of
their own Alaska, whero the comber
Inleta are bounded by ahecr and tow
erlng cliffs and where the Kreat
fields of alow-movlug snow-Ice lose
inemselvos in aouie bay or lulet or
pitch oft auddeniy into tho ocenn lt
aelf. The streum of visitors to thla
splendid American aenery is annu
ally Increasing in uumbera and to
those who indorse the "See America
First" program Alaalca offers a mag
nnlflcent field.
Alaska glaciers were probably firs
known as the result of Captain Cook
and Admiral Vancouver's explora
tions In 177S and 1794, some of the
maps of the early voyagers showing
that certain of the bays or florda
wore ended by yertlcul walla of ice,
from which blocks fell Into tho sou.
In more recent years discussions of
these hugo glaciers havo been glveu
in tho reports of Dull, Gilbert, Turr,
Hrooks, Grant, Mendemiall, Martin
und .others, of the Untied States
Geological Survey, und In the publi
cations of such organizations us the
Natloual Geographical Society and
tho Ilarrlmun Alaska lixpedition.
The most recent contribution on
the greut glaciers of Alaska Is by U.
3. Grunt and L>. F. Hlgglus. Tho re
port In is fact a guide und hand
book to thla wonderful scenic re
gion which must provo Invaluable to
tho tourist.
Many valuable data and important
measurements of glaciers in the
United Stutes, Alusku, und else
where have been brought together
from time to time und It is prob
ably tho general Impression th.it ,
since the vast lco sheet which cover
ed the northern part of North Amor- ,
leu, began its retreat the glaciers of .
the continent havo been continually (
shrinking. It is therefore interest
ing to noto from tho Illustrations ,
ind descriptions that some of these ,
Alaskan glaciers arc progressing -md
growing larger rather than ftro- J
grossing, muny huge forests being ,
?Ipturned and devastated by tho Ir
resistible advance of the ice. In
other glaciers the retreut within a
period of 10 years has been more ?
than a mile. The great magnitude of '
itome of those glaciers la Been iu
the descriptions which indicate the
height of the tidal lco cliffs that
form the termini of the glaciers as '
bring from 300 to 400 feet. Slow
