where all was covered wifh ice some lwenty years ago,
when fhe map was made.
As it proved to be attented with great difficulties to get
over the glacier or across the river to the eastern side I only
placed fixing marks on the western side:
A) A large white painted bloch with a little cairn upon it.
Ao A bamboos stick in a cairn.
Distance Aj across Ao (N 30° W) to the ice front 34 m.
A3 A wooden stick in a cairn about 50 m. to W from Ao.
The line of vision A3—A2 cuts the front edge of the glacier at
the spring-head of the river.
