Volumes 16 to 38 1892 to 1926 INDEX TO THE } 1 ALPINE JOURNAL I Vols. 16 to 38 _< .', I -/ ~,;.:~, I Printed by SPOTTISWOODE, BALLANTYNE & CO. LTD. ,LONDON, COLCHESTER & ETON ( 1929 ", \ ) j ,I f PREFACE. THE present volume carries on the Index to the ALPINEJOURNAL from Volumes 16 to 38. The form is somewhat different from the Index to Volumes 1 to 15, and is founded on one which the late Mr. Raymond Bicknell had made for his own use. The early stages of the work were actually canied out by Mr. Bicknell himself, to whom the Alpine Club is much indebted, and the thanks of the Club are also due· to the late Capt. J. P. Farrar, Mr. P. J. H. Dnna, Mr. R. Graham, Mr. C. Candler, Dr. E. H. Stevens, and Mr. Sydney Spencer, for their valuable assistance. The inclusion of the references to the illustrations in Peaks, Passes, and Glaciers, and the first 15 volumes, will be found useful. The three volumes of Peaks, Passes, and Glaciers are numbered a-s before, P. 1, P. 2, and P. 3, to avoid confusion of the two series. \, 2 Index to Volumes 16 to 38.

NORTH SEA] BASIC SYSTEM ' • HIS is the only Basic System whose watershed does not penetrate beyond the Alps, so it is immaterial whether it be traced·from W. to E. as [Adriatic .w. North Sea], or from E. toW. as [North Sea . w. Adriatic]. The Basic Watershed, which also answers to the title [Po ~ w. Rhine], is short arid for purposes of practical convenience scarcely requires subdivision, but the distinction between the Aar basin (actually Reuss, and Limmat) and that of the Rhine itself, is of too great significance to be overlooked, to say nothing of the magnitude and importance of the Major Branch System involved. This gives two Basic Sections of very unequal dimensions, but the ., Alps being of natural origin cannot be expected to fall into more or less equal com­ partments. Two rather less unbalanced sections could be obtained by differentiating Ticino.- and Adda-drainage on the Po-side, but this would exhibit both hydrographic and Alpine inferiority.

PREFACE This report deals with principles of glacier flow that are applicable to the many glaciers in Alaska and other parts of the United States. Permission to work in Canada was extended by the Canadian Department for External Affairs, and access to the National Park was arranged by Mr. J. R. B. Coleman, then supervisor of Banff National Park. Saskatchewan Glacier was chosen for study because it is readily accessible and affords an unusually good opportunity to obtain data and develop principles that have a direct bearing on studies being made in the United States.

    • .. THE FUHRERBUCH OF JOI-IANN JAUN . • • THE FUHRERBUCH OF JOHANN JAUN By D. F. 0. DANGAR ' WING to 1-Ians' abnormal carelessness in regard to all matters appertaining to himself, the greater part of his mountaineering achievements are not recorded in this book at all. He is fortunately in the habit of leaving it at home, or it would long since have been destroyed or lost.' Thus \vrote Sir Edward Davidson in the Fuhrerbuch of Hans Jaun, in 1887. Covering a period of thirty-five years, the book contains but thirty­ one entries most of them signed by the best known amateurs of the time and it is therefore a very incomplete history of J aun's career. Although his habit of leaving his book at home is, no doubt, the chief reason for the many omissions, several of his Herren must bear a share of the responsibility. J. Oakley Maund, for instance, apart from signing with C. T. Dent an entry in reference to an ascent of the Bietschhorn, has written less than a dozen lines in the book, and he does not specifically mention a single one of the many expeditions he made with Jaun. Of two entries by Herr Georg Griiber, one covers a period of seven years, and neither Maund nor Middlemore makes mention of the work of that glorious week in 1876 which, as one of the participants held, ' was entitled to be considered from a purely climbing point of view as a tour de force unsurpassed in the history of the Alps.' Middlemore, however, has paid a." well deserved tribute to his old guide in Pioneers of the Alps.

  • Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003
    Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003 Welcome to Snow Pass. This is the first GMC to be held at this location, and as far as we can ascertain, you are only the second group to have ever camped amongst this group of lakes. Many GMC’s are situated in valleys; however, this site is unusual as you are on the Continental Divide at an E-W “pass” between the Sullivan and Athabasca rivers, this is the arbitrary division between the Columbia Icefield to the south and the Chaba/Clemenceau Icefields to the north. But, you are also at a N-S pass between the Wales and “Watershed” glaciers, so you are at a “four way intersection” and from Base Camp you can access seven (7) different glacier systems. An intriguing local feature is the snout of the “Watershed” glacier, which actually divides so that it flows both west to join the Wales Glacier and thus drains to the Pacific and also turns east and feeds to the Arctic, which is why it is called the “Watershed” Glacier. In 2003, it may not be too obvious why in 1919 the Alberta/British Columbia Interprovincial Survey called this location “Snow Pass” but in the 1930’s (and even ? the early 1950’s) your Base Camp was still completely ice covered! There was permanent ice/snow from the “Aqueduct” to the “Watershed” to the “Toronto” Glaciers, an area of snow 5 km E-W and 10km N-S. Thus, in 1919, it really was a “snow pass”. See the appended “deglaciation” map. There is a wonderful photograph taken from the summit of Sundial peak in 1919 in the A/BC Volume, p.

No. 5. MAY, 1903. VOL. XXI. FURTHER EXPLORATION IN THE CANADIAN ROCKY MOUNTAINS.* By J. NORMAN COLLIE, F.R.S. THE exploration of the main range of the Canadian Rocky mountains lying between the sources of the Athabasca river and the Kicking Horse pass has been the subject of two papers read by myself before the Royal Geographical Society. In these two papers I attempted to give a description of some of the great snowfields that exist amongst the Rocky mountains, and also as far as possible to make clear the geo- graphy of a mountain district up till that time but little known.
