Man and the Glacial Period

In approaching the subject of glacial chronology, we are compelled to recognise at the outset the approximate character of all our calculations. Still, we shall find that there...

About two million square miles of northern Europe were covered with perennial ice during the Glacial period. From the scratches upon the rocks, and from the direction in which m...

In North America all the indubitable signs of glacial action are found over the entire area of New England, the southern coast being bordered by a double line of terminal morain...

Although the first clear evidence of glacial man was discovered in Europe, the problem is so much simpler on the Western Continent that we shall find it profitable to study the...

We will begin the consideration of this part of our subject, also, with the presentation of the salient facts in North America, since that field is simpler than any field in the...

In searching for the cause of the Glacial period, it is evident that we must endeavor to find conditions which will secure over the centre of the glaciated area either a great i...

The formation of icebergs can here be studied to admirable advantage. During the month in which we encamped in the vicinity the process was going on continuously. There was scar...

The facts from which we draw the inference that vast areas of the earth's surface which are now free from glaciers were, at a comparatively recent time, covered with them, are f...
