The valleys Of Greenland are filed
with glaciers, Of which some have an
enormous extent, They are alwaysin mo-
tioo, glidiog downward ike rivers Of
nearly solid matter, which have their
outlet 10 the sea, only their motion is
exceedingly slow, NOT exceeding above
100 feet for the whole summer season.
The lower extromlties Of these glaciers,
reaching the ocean, are buoycd up By
the deep water, aud then are broken off
IRON the rest OF the mass, when they
slowly drift away TO tho south. They
sometimes have an extent or several
miles, aud are really mountains Of ice
--icebergs-o which about seven.
cighths Is 10 the water aud less than
ne-eighth exposed above the surface.
These floating ice mountains often car
~ enormous blocks Of rock, torn from
tho mountain side along which they
have moved, and drop those rocks when
aud where the iceberg is finally lost
In this way geologis.s explain how bJul.
ders and erratic rocks happen TO be
found wherc there arc no similar for.
nations namely, by icebergs, at time
before the present surfaces Of the con-
tinents we're uphcayed from the depths
or tho ocean. II is known that this Is
ono Of Agassiz's fayoritc theories. He
supposes that the whole earth was COW
cred with glaciers.
