223 tlie glacial period, and the similarity of the phenomena pro- duced to those which are still observable in all parts of the globe where great glaciers descend from the mountains. FORMATION AND APPEARANCE OF ICEBERGS AND FLOATING ICE — ICE-FIELDS AND BANKS. The term " floating ice" generally signifies, in the Polar seas, movable masses of ice of the size of a ship. " Ice- bergs " are isolated masses of great dimensions. The word " ice-field " is employed by our English voyagers to designate ...unbroken plains of ice of from three to seven feet in height. They have been seen of 100 miles in length, with a breadth of upwards of 40 miles. Our words " ice-field, " " ice-floe, " and " bank, " are identical in application with the French hanquise. But the mean elevation of these impenetrable barriers is more consider- able, and they sometimes attain, especially in the vicinity of the land, a height of 100 to 150 feet. Lastly, our word " hummock " refers to irregular protuberances of ice, which attract the attention by their fantastic forms, and frequently rise to very great elevations.
