They are confined within an area about 100 miles wide and 500 miles long, compris- ing a territory perhaps as large as the state Of New York. This, all told, does not comprise oue-tenth oT AlasEa, but t Is that part Of the country most frequented by tourists, and t Is from their stories that many have received the idea that Alaska Is nothing but noun tains and ice. The truth is, most uf the territory is north of these glacial ranges which border the coas' and 6 great part of 1t is as dry as northern Dakota or Montana The Yukon valley has crisp, cold winter and short, dry summers. The winters have clear skies, and the 1 climate ls bearable. In summer the whole land is covered with the Ereenest of green. and the air IS so iRvisorating that one seems 10 be breathing champagne.
 Tn interior of the country Is comparatively low. The coast gla- cial region is rugged and high. Many ot ita mountains are lost in The clouds, and some Of their peaks
 kiss the skies at an altitude higher than any other part Of the contin- ent. They are so high, so steep and so cold, that they prectDitate the water that rises from the warm ocean currents that wash southern Alaska, and give the snowfall that has built up the glaciers and keeps them alive.
