excitement, and to obtain a general view of the
great features of the country, the carriole is almost
unobjectionable.
In ‘Through Norway with a Knapsack,’ to
which I must refer for further particulars
concerning the scenery and people hereabouts, is a
description (page 53, new edition) of a curious
conformation in this valley of the Driva. It is
best seen in going northwards. I have no doubt
that these promontories are due to glacial action.
They are a modification of what in Scotland is
called “crag and tail," and show the direction of
the ancient ice-flow, the smooth sloping side of
these (the “stosseite”) facing the direction of the
flow, and the craggy side (the “leeseite”) looking
down the slope or to leeward of the ancient glacier.
The reason why the stosseite or tail should be thus
planed and smoothed by the advancing ice, while
the leeseite or crag retains its original structure, is
obvious on a little reflection.
