own party needed three hours along the river, and he found that Conway's map
was »inexacte sur plus d'un point», a statement which may be doubted. So much
the more as the quoted distance on Guillarmod's map is also exactly 2½ miles, both
measurements starting from the ford of Punmah.
Of the geological observations he says:
Depuis que nous sommes dans le bassin de l'Indus, nous ne voyons que des roches
éruptives sous toutes leurs formes: protogine, diorite, serpentine, schistes micacés, gneiss,
granits à grains de toutes grosseurs; la route est souvent semée de quantités énormes de
grenats, les uns petits, très durs, proéminant sur un fond noirâtre, d'autres atteignant la
dimension d'un pouce, enfermés dans une masse micacée du plus beau vert, avec des filets
bleu ciel, de sorte que certains rochers offrent l'aspect le plus riant.
The only sedimentary beds they found were the alluvial deposits or the old
moraines, the débris of which could be seen up to 1,000 metres above the Braldo
giving testimony, the enormous expansion of glaciers in earlier periods to as well
as to the erosion which is still going on.
The way to K 2 was clearly shown by the Baltoro Glacier the length of which
is given as nearly 100 kilometres. June 15th they left Paiyu quite near the snout.
La rivière sort de la base du glacier par une magnifique voûte, précipitant ses eaux
boueuses avec une force telle, qu'il serait inutile de songer à la traverser à gué; le seul
moyen de passer sur sa rive gauche est d'employer le pont naturel que forme le glacier
lui-même.
He estimates the thickness of the glacier at 120 or 150 metres, and twice as
much one or two kilometres higher up, at points where lateral glaciers are joined.
A comparison between the two maps makes it probable that the snout has not
changed visibly during the 10 years. At the mouth of the Liligo Glacier, Conway's
little lake was still in existence.
The names of the northern tributary glaciers are not always in agreement
with Conway's; Guillarmod says the Baltis were very positive in their statements of
names given. Conway has the following glaciers on the northern side, reckoned from
the end: 1. Nameless Glacier; 2. Uli Biaho; 3. Dunge; 4. Durni; 5. Piale; 6. Three
nameless glaciers; 7. Younghusband Glacier; 8. Godwin-Austen Glacier. Guillarmod
has: 1. Uli Biaho; 2. Tramgo; 3. Dunge; 4. Biale; 5. Mustagh; 6. One nameless glacier;
7. Younghusband Glacier and 8. Godwin-Austen Glacier. The Duke of the Abruzzi
has also only one between the Mustagh and Younghusband Glaciers.
From Camp III to IV, Lhungka (14,377 feet) they crossed the glacier to the
northern side which was followed for the rest of the journey. Camp V, Gore, 4,475 m.,
was the same as Conway's Storage Camp (14,210 feet = 4,332 m.).
Conway has the following southern tributary glaciers: 1. Liligua; 2. Mundu;
3. Stachi-kyungme. Guillarmod has: 1. Liligo; 2. Mundu; 3. Yermanendu. The Duke
has: 1. Mundu; 2. Yermanendu.
