The glacier showed huge crevasses and high pressure ridges, and appeared to run back to ice-covered slopes or hills 1000 or 2000 ft.high.

Some bays in its front were filled with smooth ice, dotted with seals and penguins.

At 4 a.m.on the 16th we reached the edge of another huge glacial overflow from the ice-sheet.

The ice appeared to be coming over low hills and was heavily broken.

The cliff- face was 250 to 350 ft.
