Stanford University, Cal., Feb. 25, 1910

John Muir,

Martinez, Cal.

Dear Mr. Muir: -

I am glad you like the photograph of the Araucaria. You ask about pictures of South American glaciers. The best I can do is to tell you where they are published. The glaciers of the high Andes are best shown and described by Edward Whymper in his “Travels amongst the great Andes of the equator”. New York, 1892.

Another good book on the Andes is Sir Martin Conway’s “The Bolivian Andes”, New York and London, 1901.

The glaciers of the southern end of the continent are …
