The whole of the southern part is thickly covered with glacier, which, however, only extends to sea-level at a few points. In one or two places there is an outcropping of rock through the ice covering, and on the northern side there is a huge bluff of dark grey rock round which the glacier divides as it descends to the level land beyond (Fig. 11 a). Here, immediately below the edge of the glacier, conspicuous patches of green vegetation were.
