that more American travellers are IA

glaciers OF Scandinavia than have
viewed the incompatible scenery ar
forded by the coast OF their own Alas

ed by sheer and towering cliffs and
where the great fields of slow-movine
snow-ice lose themselves in some bay

ocean itself. The stream OF visitors
to this splendid American scenery is
annually increasing in numbers, and

impression that since the vast ice

of North America began its retreat
the glaciers of the continent have been

interesting to note from the illustra

that some of these Alaska glaciers are
progressing and growing larger rather
than retrogressing, many huge forests
being upturned and devastated by the
irresistible advance of the ice. In 9th

of ten years has been more than a
mile. The great magnitude of some
of these glaciers is seen in the descrip-
