Description
Summary:Father Hubbard On His Way Back To Seattle. FATHER HUBBARD ON HIS WAY BACK TO SEATTLE Juneau, Alaska, Sept. 24.—(/P)— Father Bernard R. Hubbard, the glacier priest, had concluded today that glaciers cannot attain a depth of more than 2,000 feet because their own pressure would melt them. Father Hubbard's study of Taku and Mendenhall glaciers in Alaska led him to announce this opinion before sailing today on the steamer Alaska for Seattle. Ed Levin, Ken Chisholm and George Getty, assistants on the expedition, accompanied him. Upon reaching Seattle, Father Hubbard will begin planning for an expedition in 1936. This expedition, the noted authority on geology said, probably will be to Kings island in Bering strait.
