Glacier motion — ice and rock. Photographer: Edwards, Ernest
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Mounted on p. 12. Close view: 'An illustration is given on the next page of a phenoomenon not infrequently found at the edge of a glacier, which shows the motion of the ice so clearly, that the eye of the imagination can almost see it move. The ice which forms the upper and left-hand portion of the picture was once in contact with the rock, and in its advance still retains the the form to which it was moulded by that contact; the concave outline of the ice precisely coinciding with the convex shape of the rock, some slight allowance being made for subsequent superficial melting of the ice' (pp. 11-12).
