MT. BAILFOUR AND BALFOUR GLACIER FROM BOW PEAK

The view is of unusual geological interest, showing the relation of the névé-field to the short, Alpine glacier, the work of the drainage stream in covering the valley floor with gravel, and the formation of an extensive delta at the head of the lake. The left lateral and two medial moraines are well shown, as well as the transverse and marginal crevasses.
