Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Characteristics of Existing Glaciers It has been the common practice to treat the subject of glaciation as if all ice masses having inherent motion of whatever nature were governed by the same laws. Thus the most recent and authoritative work upon the subject has treated the glaciers of Greenland and Switzerland together. The aim of the present work has been rather to emphasize the wide differences in other than dimensional respects which separate such bodies, and to show that the law's which govern their nourishment and depletion, and their reaction with the lithosphere as well, are by no means identical. The broad line of cleavage is found to he between those glaciers which completely cover a considerable portion of the rock surface, and have the form of a flat dome or shield, and the remaining types. These latter glaciers being all restricted to maintain districts have been designated mountain glaciers, and they have been found to bear very simple relations to each other, dependent upon the measure of their nourishment and waste. Alimentation being in turn dependent upon climatic conditions, all are brought in order within the cycle of changes which correspond to a period of increasingly rigorous climate followed in turn by more genial conditions - the cycle of glaciation. Throughout the attempt has been to emphasize the broader physiographic elements of the problem and to show the relations to alimentation and depletion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glaciers of Glacier National Park From Gunsight Camp, an easy trail leads southward about 1 mile, with an ascent of about 500 feet, to the foot of the main lobe of the western part of the glacier. Climbing the morainal embankment which obstructs the view one looks out on a scene Of surpassing interest and grandeur. The distance across the glacier on a nearly east - west line, is miles; the maximum extent southward from the front of the eastern lobe to the crest of the snow-covered Continental Divide on Blackfoot Mountain is miles; the distance from the front of the western lobe to the divide southeast of Jackson Mountain is nearly the same; the approximate area Of the entire mass is 3 square miles. Lying in a depression in the mountain slope, having a greater extent laterally than in the direction of movement, and having no lobate extension down the valley, it is what is known as a cliff glacier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Many-Storied Mountains: The Life of Glacier National Park In Glacier National Park the land is folded up. On the east, Chief Mountain, Curly Bear, and Rising Wolf break the prairie's hold. When the early French fur trappers saw these peaks glistening in the distance with summer-long snows and perpetual ice, they named this region the land of shining mountains. But for all the ice and snow that reflect the summer sun, the park's pres ent glaciers are but snowflakes compared to the mighty rivers of ice that carved this land. Glaciation, the magnificent sculptor, left its bold signature everywhere, and this park honors with its name the force that shaped it.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coastal Glaciers of Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula, Alaska During the summer of 1905 the senior author and Sidney Paige were engaged in a study of the ore deposits and the general geology of Prince William Sound. This work was continued in 1908 for a few weeks by both the present authors, who in 1909 extended it to the southern part of Kenai Peninsula. In these three field seasons the whole shore line of Prince William Sound (except that of some of the islands) and of Kenai Peninsula from Portage Bay to Seldovia Bay Of Cook Inlet was examined. In the course of this work all the tidewater glaciers and many others near tidewater were seen and some notes, photographs, and maps were made of all the tidewater glaciers and of many Of the others. This work was hurriedly done and was secondary to the study of the bedrock geology and the ore deposits; nevertheless it is thought worth while to put on record the information thus Obtained regarding the glaciers, for it will afford a basis for future study of the fluctuations of these ice streams. This paper, then, is not expected to make many additions to the large amount of scientific material concerning the problems of glaciers and glaciation that is already available, but it is intended to supply some definite information regarding the present positions of the fronts of the glaciers and the more evident facts of their fluctuations. Moreover, it is hoped that this publication may attract attention to some of the most magnificent American scenery that is now accessible to the tourist and nature lover. Except the Columbia Glacier, the glaciers of Port Wells, and possibly one or two others, the ice streams here considered had not been figured nor described before this study was undertaken.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Glaciation: With Special Reference to the Ice Retreat in Northeastern North America The Recession of 'the Last Ice Sheet in New England. As the first successful working out of an exact glacial chronology on this side of the Atlantic, it was unique. Nature's own record Of 4300 years in New England was accurately deciphered by a method already in use in Sweden but until then not well known in America Moreover this was the first pronouncement of the principle that, if we are to correlate the ice retreat in America with that in Europe or elsewhere, we must first discover and -measure the larger variations in rate Of recession, due to slow, great oscillations of climate, and then, comparing these long fluctuations see whether or not they correspond in the two cases - not trusting a direct year-for-year comparison of varve graphs for localities on opposite sides of the ocean or north and South of the equator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glaciers of North America: A Reading Lesson for Students of Geography and Geology Until within the past few years, nearly all current knowledge of glaciers was based on 'the study of those of the Alps. Practically all theories of the origin, growth, motion, etc., of glaciers were inspired from the same source. An enlargement of the field of study, however, has shown not only that glaciers of the same type as those of Switzerland exist in many other lands, but in numerous instances are larger and present greater diversity; and besides, additional types or "genera" have been discovered that are not represented in Europe or in fact on any of the three continents of the Eastern Hemisphere. As geological and geographical explorations have been extended, it has been found that North America is not only a favorable field for the growth of these twin sciences, bat in many ways furnishes the best example of continental development that has as yet been studied. Strange as it may appear in the face of the overshadowing popular interest that centers in the glaciers of the Alps, North America offers more favorable conditions for the study of existing glaciers and of the records of ancient ice sheets than any other continent. Of each of the three leading types of glaciers thus far reorganized, namely, the alpine, piedmont, and continental, North America furnishes magnificent examples. In fact there is no other continent, except the little known region about the South Pole, in which other than the alpine type of glaciers exist. Of alpine glaciers representatives occur in North America in abundance and in great variety, ranging from the "pocket editions" about the summits of the High Sierra, California, to the magnificent Seward glacier, Alaska, the largest river of ice flowing from a mountain group that has yet been discovered.

This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Glaciers of Switzerland and North Wales Ever since the publication of De Saussure's great work on the Alps, the subject of glaciers has claimed a considerable and increasing share of the attention of scientific writers. The gathering of the snow in the higher mountain regions, its conversion into solid ice, the inner structure and movements of glaciers, their ancient extension and erosive action on their rocky beds, the origin of crevasses, moraines, and many other attendant phenomena, have all been the subjects of discussion; and in the writings of De Saussure, Charpentier, Agassiz, and James Forbes, the charms of style and Bgraphic; 1kastration have invested these questions with. An interest felt far beyond the circle of purely. Scientific readers. The subject has, how ev'er, many bearings besides those relating to existing glaciers, and in the following pages I propose chiefly to confine myself to that part 0 of the history and antiquities of the glacier world the origin of which, though lost 1n the far backward and abysm of time, yet, in a. Geological sense, so little preceded our own day, that the larger contours of hill and valley as they yet stand were already in existence, and probably all the forms of mollusca now living even then inhabited the northern seas.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Glacier Park, Seeing America First With Howard Eaton There are many to whom new places are only new pictures. But, after much wandering, this thing I have learned, and I wish I had learned it sooner: that travel is a matter, not only of seeing, but of doing. It is much more than that. It is a matter of new human contacts. It is not of places, but of people. What are regions but the setting for life? The desert, without its Arabs, is but the place that God forgot. To travel, then, is to do, not only to see. To travel best is to be of the sportsmen of the road. To take a chance, and win; to feel the glow of muscles too long unused; to sleep on the ground at night and find it soft; to eat, not because it is time to eat, but because one's body is clamoring for food; to drink where every stream and river is pure and cold; to get close to the earth and see the stars - this is travel.
