Along the southeru base of the mountains there IS plnieu of some thirty miles broad, divided by the wat CTS of Yukutat bay. Our task was to explore and map the country from the bay to St. Eli,s, sni .s far bevuu1 ss practicable. Excursions were bes un at once to neie bboring mountains and gla ciers and up Ynkutat bay as far as the fl ating ice would permit the csn"a to travel.

From there the icebergs crowding the bay were derived. One of the glaciers we named after Dalton, the pioneer explorer of the region. Anoth- er of larger size at the head of the bay was named in honor of Gar iner Hub bard, president of the National Geo graphical society. A magnificent mountain peak rising sowe 10000 feet immediately above Hubb ,rd glacier, re- ceived the same name.
