Description
Summary:August 2, 1931. Kjerulfs [Kjerulf] Fjord. Through to Dickson [Dicksons] Fjord. In background on left, L.A.B.'s Scoop Mt. [Mountain] and the range of mountains forming (from this point south) the eastern side of Hisinger Glacier [Hisinger Gletscher]. The ice-cap covers the summit of the entire range and glaciers descend the side facing west. Below is Hisinger glacier [Hisinger Gletscher] coming from S.S.W. and descending N.N.E. From this glacier streams are seen flowing into shallow pool-like lake - from which the stream of the Left Valley rises; (See 24-F-13; 24-F-5; 27-1-12) and flowing down Left Valley, passes through Main Valley and out into Kjerulfs [Kjerulf] Fjord. This photo is taken at what can well be called The Divide for, at this point, the waters off Hisinger Glacier [Hisinger Gletscher] (see 27-1-17; 27-1-21 & 26-H-18) flow to Dickson [Dicksons] Fjord and those seen in this photo floow [flow] to Kjerulfs [Kjerulf] Fjord (see 26-H-25 & 24-F-12).
