Description
Summary:August 2, 1931. Kjerulfs [Kjerulf] Fjord. Through to Dickson [Dicksons] Fjord. In background; Hisinger Glacier [Hisinger Gletscher] reaches its most northern point, which L.A.B. calls the Divide. Here it spreads out, spilling over in huge curves and points, into the southern S.E. end of Left Valley and throws off streams which flow into the pond-like lake, and thence to Kjerulfs [Kjerulf] Fjord. The glacier turns E.N.E. here at the Divide and goes into Dickson [Dicksons] Fjord. Photo taken facing west on eastern side of Left Valley at its southern end.
