CHAPTER II.
A SHORT ESSAY ON GLACIERS.
As the reader may have already noticed, I had no
sooner landed on Norwegian ground than I began
to talk about glaciation, even in the High Street
of Stavanger; that I took up the subject again as
we coasted towards Bergen, and have broken out
afresh in the valley of the Nid. Those who have
never studied this subject are possibly becoming
bored already, and will pronounce me a glacial
maniac before they finish this book if they
continue unacquainted with the rudiments of the
subject. The following popular sketch is intended
to avert this calamity, by rendering all I shall
have to say on the subject hereafter
intelligible, and, I hope, interesting. Those who are
already learned in glaciers may skip this little
interlude.
It must be remembered, in the first place, that,
as we ascend a mountain, the temperature decreases,
and thus we may reach a height where the snow
that falls during the winter does not thaw in
