The ice at the base of the Zemu and AlukthangGlaciers descends to about 13,000 feet; this is its lowestlevel in Sikhim. Taking into account secondary glaciers,the number of square miles covered by snow and ice inthe group, accepting the 24,340 peak close to the JonsongLa as its northern limit, may be reckoned approximatelyat 327. According to Professor Heim snow and ice coverin the Mont Blanc group 100 square miles, and in theBernese Oberland 193 square miles. Next I will add a few words as to the most notable.
