Studies Made During 1933, Alaskan Glaciers

Publication Year: 1934.

ALASKAN GLACIERS

The expedition under the leadership of H. Bradford Washburn, Jr., to Mt. Crillon in the Fair weather Range made some interesting observations on the glaciers of the western slopes of the Fair weather and Southern St. Elias Ranges. Among the ice tongues viewed and photographed from the air were those of Disenchantment Bay and Russell Fiord. Little has been known of the behavior of these interesting glaciers since they were observed in 1913, so that the present observations when published will be of special significance.
