The south-west side, on the contrary, from thebold bluff at the entrance, to far up beyond the extrem-ity of the glacier, is a continuous, inaccessible, verticalcliff. From the eastern point of Academy Bay the mainshore of the gulf extends, due east, to the face ofthe great Heilprin Glacier, and then on beside thegreat ice-stream, until the crests of the cliffs disappearunder the white shroud of the Great Ice. From Appendix 465 here on, the eastern and northern sides of the head ofthe gulf are an almost continuous glacier face, six greatice-streams, separated by as many precipitous nunataks,flowing down from the interior ice-cap to discharge anenormous fleet of bergs.
