Text Appearing Before Image:
Eaton Island is a small low islet, apparently composed of rounded basalticstones and shingle, being little more than a shoal protruding abovethe level of the sea. Bruce Island lies about 8 miles north-west of Northbrook Island. It is irre-gularly oval in shape, measuring about 12 miles from north tosouth and 10 from east to west. It is remarkable as being entirelysurrounded by an ice-face, from 10 to 60 or 70 feet in height, andas having only small portions of its surface exposed. The slopesasceud from the ice-cliff until at about the elevation of 1000 feetthe snow-surface forms a more or less level, slightly undulatingplateau. Depressions in the general surface give some indicationsof the configuration of the land.

CO Vol. 54.) THE GEOLOGY OF FRAlfZ JOSEF LAND, 629 ice-slopes. We visited one of the bare plateau-surfaces, and foundit to be about g mile long and from 100 to 250 yards broad. Itwas covered with soil, and strewn with fragments of basalt, flint,ferruginous mudstone, and quartz. We also found a few small,well-rounded quartz-pebbles. The rock at the edge of the pltaeauwas composed of two, thin, almost horizontal sheets of basalt. At one spot on this island, where the rock is not exposed, wefound a hollow in the ice-slope which appeared to have originated Fig. 7.—Diagram to explain ice-hollow on Bruce Island.
