Glaciers and Snow Fields.
The eastern part, especially the coastal
slope of the st. Elias and Fairweather ranges,
is the only portion of Alaska which bears out
the popular belief that the territory is COW
cred with ice and snow. Here In the high
mountains there are many Alpine glaciers and
snow fields, but the Malaspina glacier is tho
largest single ice field and, indeed, the most
extensive on the North American continent.
This great piedmont glacier spreads out over
the coastal plain, presenting front of s.
miles to the sea and, including the neve fields
which feed It, covers an area Of 5000 square
miles.
This fee field is most wildly described by
Russell, who viewed it from the upper slopes
