In explaining this, Professor Penck, with the help of stereopticon views, described the various topographical phenomena of these mountain regions; the broken, or hanging glaciers, the curiously shaped river troughs and the "reverse" drainage in many of the river systems. All these are the result of glacial erosion. The action of the ice is responsible for the uneven river troughs, which cause drainage in all directions; and also...
Professor Albrecht Penck, of the University of Vienna, delivered the first of his three lectures on the "Alps in the Great Ice Age" yesterday afternoon in the Geological Lecture Room of the University Museum. In this lecture, which dealt with "The Climatic Variations of the Ice Age," Professor Penck thoroughly discussed the means of discovering both the probable climate during the great glacial periods, and the length of time since these topographical phenomena were in existence...
