Mountains Are Listed by Their Official Names and Ranges; Quotation Marks Indicate Unofficial Names INDEX Volume 28 l Issue 60 l 1986 Compiled by Patricia A. Fletcher This issue comprises all of Volume 28 Mountains are listed by their official names and ranges; quotation marks indicate unofficial names. Ranges and geographic locations are also in- dexed. Unnamed peaks (e.g., Peak 2037) are listed following the range or country in which they are located. All expedition memberscited in major articles are included, whereas only the leaders and persons supplying information in the Climbs and Expeditions section are listed. Titles of books reviewed in this issue are grouped as a single entry under Book Reviews. Abbreviations used: Article: art.; Bibliography: bibl.; Obituary: obit.

  • Cordillera Apolobamba - the First Ascent Ofpalomani Tranca
    135 Cordillera Apolobamba - The First Ascent ofPalomani Tranca Jim Curran Plates 54-56 The Cordillera Apolobamba is 130km NE of Lake Titicaca in SE Peru on the Bolivian border. It had been visited from Bolivia but seldom from Peru, and never by a British expedition. One summit, Palomani Tranca 5633m, remained unclimbed. This much information, gleaned by Geoff Tier after many fruitless hours in the RGS and AC libraries, was more or less what I had expected, for Geoff has that enviable knack of Finding Things Out. Moreover, he then Does Something About Them. As I lack both these attributes almost entirely but compensate for the lack with a proven and long standing flair for being led astray it was inevitable that, around the beginning of July, I would find myself with Geoff once more at Heathrow's Terminal 3 in double boots, salopette and furry jacket, clumping aboard a DClO. With me was an unopened letter from my bank manager marked 'Urgent and Confidential'. Generous support from the MEF and the BMC enabled us to fly to Lima where we met Andy Maskrey, an old friend of Geoffs, who had been working for five years in Peru running a disaster agency. His fluent Spanish was without doubt, the key factor in enabling us to get anywhere near our range for it must be said that once away from the main tourist circuit, some Spanish is essential. Andy's Peruvian girl-friend Chepi also spoke Quechua so that in many respects Geoff and I had a very easy time. We found out very quickly that in South America you are not a sahib but a gringo - a big difference.

We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska. We show the wet, percolation and dry snow zones located below 2700 m a.s.l., at 2700 to 3900 m a.s.l. and above 3900 m a.s.l., respectively. We successfully imaged glacier ice depths upwards of 480 m using 40–100 MHz GPR frequencies. This depth is nearly double previous depth measurements reached using mid-frequency GPR systems on temperate glaciers. Few Holocene-length climate records are available in Alaska, hence we also assess stratigraphy and flow dynamics at each study site as a potential ice-core location. Ice layers in shallow firn cores and attenuated glaciochemical signals or lacking strata in GPR profiles collected on Upper Yentna Glacier suggest that regions below 2800 m a.s.l.

  • Alaska Range
    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers.

Index glaciers range in size from tiny unnamed cirque glaciers with areas of less map modified from Field than 1 km2 to very large valley glaciers with lengths up to 76 km (Denton (1975a).

Calvert Abstract pal nearby town) and 15 to 20 km behind (northwest of) the volcanic-front chain, which is locally defined by Kejulik and Behind the single-file chain of stratovolcanoes on the Peulik stratovolcanoes (fig. 1). The Gas Rocks form a knobby Alaska Peninsula, independent rear-arc vents for mafic mag- peninsula at the south shore of Becharof Lake, and Blue mas are uncommon, and for silicic magmas rarer still. We Mountain is a group of rounded hills a few kilometers west of report here the characteristics, compositions, and ages of two Upper Ugashik Lake (fig. 2). Both dome clusters rise abruptly andesite-dacite dome clusters and of several nearby basaltic above a nearly flat (virtually treeless and roadless) plain of units, all near Becharof Lake and 15 to 20 km behind the late Pleistocene glacial deposits (Detterman and others, 1987a, volcanic front. Blue Mountain consists of 13 domes (58–68 b), consisting largely of till and outwash, supplemented by the bog and lacustrine deposits of hundreds of ponds and by weight percent SiO2) and The Gas Rocks of three domes (62–64.5 weight percent SiO ) and a mafic cone (52 weight beach and terrace deposits along the lakeshores. The enor- 2 mous moraine-dammed lakes (fig. 2) are generally shallower percent SiO2). All 16 domes are amphibole-biotite-plagio- clase felsite, and nearly all are phenocryst rich and quartz than 5 m, and their surfaces are barely 10 m above sea level.

  • Ley, So the Still Deeper Cañon of Lower Two Miles,That Is, Beyond Rather Than
    THE CANON OF YOSEMITE 87 As Merced Cañon forms the southeast branch of Yosemite Val- ley, so the still deeper cañon of Tenaya Creek isits northeastern arm.Here the glacial story is less plain, and on first sight, from the heights on either side, it might be overlooked.For above the cañon's lower two miles,that is, beyond the foot of Mt. Watkins,it crowds to a narrow box-cañon between that great cliff and the steep incline of Clouds Rest.This might seem to be a V-shaped, stream-cut gorge, rather than to have the broader bottom commonly left by a glacier. But alittle exploration discovers glacial footprints in the terminal moraines and the lakes and filled lake-beds,withfineconnecting waterfalls, that mark aglacier's descent from the Cathedral Peak Range, south of the Tuolumne. We Overhung at Summit of the Half Dont,-. nrart have hardly entered the cañon, in- a tulle above the Valley floor nn.l Tena-u deed, before we are reminded of (allan.El Caption Is seen in the tllatanee. El Capitan moraine and the enclosed Yosemite Lake. A similar boulder ridge, thrown across the cañon here, is traversed by the road as it carries visitors on their early morning trips to see the sunrise reflections in Mirror Lake.This lakelet evidently occupies the lowermost of the glacial steps.It is a mere reminder of its former size, the delta of Tenaya Creek having stolen a mile from its upper end.Farther up the cañon, below and above Mt. Watkins, stream sediment has already turned similar lakes into meadows.
