...know, of course, the height at which snow exists in the present glacial systems. By studying "moraines"--physical relics left by glaciers below the snow line--it is possible to determine the height at which snow melted during the great ice ages. Thus we have a ready comparison between the climate today and that of these ancient times. In those days, we find that, except during the inter-glacial periods, the world was somewhat colder than at present. The earliest glacial movements, which we discover also by noticing the depths at which moraine is deposited, were less frequent than those...

The work of Captain Hurley was without question the best on the Harvard eleven. At times he was practically the whole team, always in the right place at the right time, and was especially reliable...
