Yosemite National Park, California. Unicorn and other points, looking across Tuolumne meadows. California. September 1897.
Yosemite National Park, California. Pinus albicaulis on Dana Plateau. The upward growth of the tree is restricted through some action of the wind, probably by the cutting effect of drifting ice particles. Some of the more prominent twigs are shorn of leaves. Circa 1907.
Yosemite National Park, California. Lyell Canyon, viewed from a high point at the south. On the east (right), it is bordered by a high shoulder or terrace associated with shallow cirques along Kuna Crest. Mount Conness in the distance on the left. 1903.
Yosemite National Park, California. Poopenaut Valley and the Tuolumne Canyon beyond. Circa 1914.
Yosemite National Park, California. Wapama Falls, looking directly north from the south side of Hetch Hetchy Valley. 1906.
Yosemite National Park, California. Young Murray pine with lacerated bark on the trail between Porcupine Flat and Yosemite Falls. The scratches were supposedly made by a bear. 1908.
Yosemite National Park, California. East wall of Emeric-Fletcher Valley. The valley was traversed by an ice stream from left to right. 1903. Photos ggk02084 and ggk02085 form a panorama.
Yosemite National Park, California. Ice-formed rampart on the shore of Tenaya Lake. Circa 1907.
Yosemite National Park, California. Westward across Little Yosemite Valley, viewed from Moraine Dome.E.C. Andrews on a perched boulder. 1908.
Yosemite National Park, California. Dome topography southwestward across Merced Canyon, showing granite slopes rising to Mount Starr King. 1908.
Yosemite National Park, California. Crescentric gouges and parabolic tension cracks in the ice-scoured floor of massive granite above Merced Lake. Circa 1917.
Yosemite National Park, California. Up Hetch Hetchy Valley from the trail to Lake Eleanor. Kolana Rock on the right. North Dome on the left. Circa 1914.
Yosemite National Park, California. Fractures in granite at base of Liberty Cap. Mariposa County, California. September 1897.
Yosemite National Park, California. Perched erratic deposited on the ridge west of Upper Yosemite Fall during a pre-Tahoe glaciation. Pedestal height of 5 feet indicates the amount of rock weathered away since the boulder was dropped by the ice. Photo by U.S. National Park Service. Figure 66, U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1595.

Yosemite National Park, California. Down the eastern scarp of the Sierra Nevada. The camera stood on a crest just north of Parker Canyon and was directed southeastward and downward. Under the crest is a cirque from which a trough descends the steep slope toward Parker Lake. Beyond the lake is one of the great moraine embankments of the Parker Canyon Glacier. 1903.
Yosemite National Park, California. Half Dome, viewed from "Washburn's Turn" in the stage road south of Glacier Point, in line with the northeast face. The view shows the cliff to be not vertical but inclined at an angle of 72 degrees. Circa 1913.
Yosemite National Park, California. Cirque lake at the head of the South Fork Cathedral Creek, viewed from the summit of Tuolumne Peak. In the distance is Mount Hoffman. A mass of metamorphic limestone is visible in the right half of the photograph. Circa 1917.
Yosemite National Park, California. South part of Kuna Crest. The crest is Viewed from the east across the southern part of Dana Creek Valley. The valley was occupied by a Pleistocene nev, from which one glacier flowed to the left down Parker Canyon and another to the right down Dana Creek. Tributary glaciers came from the cirques under Kuna Crest. Within the view are three rock-basin lakes. 1903.
Yosemite National Park, California. Glacial polish and exfoliation in the lower canyon of Cathedral Creek. The material is granite. Exfoliation is an important factor in weathering. The polish is usually carried away along with a thin scale of granite, and other scales follow. 1903.
Yosemite National Park, California. Portion of the granite floor of upper Merced Canyon, over which the ice dragged heavy boulders from right to left. Just beyond the hammer is a series of parabolic tension cracks produced by a boulder that was dragged without turning, that is, without causing impact. Far to the left of the hammer and in the right foreground are lunar chatter marks, as Gilbert calls them, produced by pressure from pointed boulders. Circa 1914.
