Transcript	At sun up we were steaming into Yakutat Bay - the grand mass of the St Elias range standing out clear and bold Not a cloud - the great white range appeared to rest on the dark waters of the bay - the bright blue sky above. It was a sight seldom witnessed - the mountain mass for fifty miles along the coast is 10000 feet high - the peaks rise to 18,000 and more - the Malaspina glacier, spreading its front 60 miles along the coast is with its feeding fileds larger than Switzerland with all its glaciers!
