Glaciers of Val d'Herens

Abstract

THE two glaciers of Arolla are interesting, inasmuch as one, the Arolla, is retreating, while the other, Glacier de Zigiorenove, is advancing. This has been going on for twelve years, according to the report which appeared in NATURE (vol. xlvi. p. 386), by Dr. Forel, dealing with Alpine glaciers and their changes.
