Album caption and index card: Bluffs on the North Fork of the Platte, near the crossing of the old Overland Stage road. They are 80 to 100 feet in height, extending along the east bank of the river, and composed of a grayish brown sandstone, exhibiting in a remarkable manner the various signs of shallow water depositions, ripple, rain, and mud markings. Broad, flat masses of rock, lie at the base of the bluff, 15 or 20 feet square, with the surface covered with these peculiar markings. Wyoming. 1870.

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska. The iceberg projects 75 feet above the water. The nearer face, black with rock debris, was probably part of the base of the parent glacier. Harriman Expedition, 1899.

Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska. Volcanic detritus deposit is 3 feet thick on the north end of Takli Island in Amalik Bay. The detritus is probably thicker on the mainland shown in the background. The white bands on the water are of floating pumice. The dark area in the left foreground is clear water. The white streaks on the beach are fine pumice. The rocks are tertiary basalt. August 8, 1912. Photos mgc00625, mgc00626, and mgc00627 form a panorama.

Paricutin emitting sparse ash - vapors are also being emitted, but they cannot be seen. This type of activity is accompanied by an intermittent rolling rumble and fall of gritty ash. Photo taken from Cerro de Jaratiro. Paricutin Volcano. Michoacan, Mexico. May 27, 1944. Published as plate 39-B in U. S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 965-D. 1956.

One of the Taqui flows pouring over a ridge. The fluid center of the flow has left a deep trench, but a second lava surge begins to fill it. Taken from the north. Paricutin Volcano. Michoacan, Mexico. February 18, 1945. Photo by E. Ordonez. Published as plate 50-A in U. S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 965-D. 1956.

View across Nisqually Glacier in series 14-W (profile 2) used to determine slope and changes in ice thickness. The glacier surface in this area has become much rougher since 1952 and the streak of white (clear) ice is now hidden behind the thickened zone of crevassed, debris-covered ice. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. September 8, 1960. Panorama in two parts. (see vfm00012) Figure 9, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

An August 2004, north-looking photograph, taken by Ron Karpilo, National Park Service, showing a retreating unnamed valley glacier that forms the East Fork of the Teklanika River, Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska. The photograph shows the retreating, debris-covered terminus of East Fork Teklanika Glacier with an elevated lateral moraine on its west (left) side. Compare with a 1906 photograph from the same location by S.R. Capps. Note: Link to S.R. Capps photograph number 917 is under Web Links below.

Sequoia National Park, California. Glacier polish, striae, and grooves above the head of Kern Canyon. The rock is aplite, which weathers more slowly than the coarser granite and, therefore, holds its glacial markings longer. Since being glaciated, the aplite has been somewhat disrupted into angular blocks by repeated frost action. Circa 1935. Figure 23, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. 1959 eruption of Kilauea Volcano, fourth phase of activity in Kilauea Iki Crater. A steady stream of lake lava flows westward into the small circular pond over the vent. The lake level is approximately 15 feet below the high mark of a few hours earlier. View is from the north end of Byron Ledge. Photo by the National Park Service, late morning, December 5, 1959. Figure 22, U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 537-E.

Colorado National Monument, Colorado. Ladder Creek Monocline and Redlands Fault. View is northwest from a point near Little Park Road east of the monument. No Thoroughfare Canyon in the foreground, which is bordered on the left by northeastward-dipping beds of Wingate Sandstone at the northwest end of Ladder Creek Monocline. Old Serpents Trail, the lower part of which is barely visible, ascends this dipping block of rock. The dark Proterozoic rocks form the flat-topped bluff on the right and are exposed by the Redlands Fault which lies just above the sharply upturned remnants of the Wingate Sandstone. 1976. Figure 29, U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1508.
