On the northeast shore there was an unnamed glacier that had receded back from the water’s edge exposing an alluvial fan and the typical “U” shaped valley. Photo 1979.
Entering the Tarr Inlet near Russell Island the Lamplugh Glacier can be seen on the southwest shore. There are some black ice bergs in the distance, a sure sign that the Grand Pacific Glacier is ahead. Photo 1979.
