Book Synopsis Southern Hemisphere Glacier Atlas by : John H. Mercer
Book excerpt: The study is a literature survey of knowledge on mountain glaciers in the Southern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere is divided into the following regional categories with respect to glaciers: The Andes of South America, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, New Guinea, East Africa, Sub- Antarctic Islands, New Zealand, and Antarctica. Included are discussions on the distribution, extent, characteristics, and behavior of mountain glaciers and an extensive list of references for each regional discussion. A history of observations and current research programs is incorporated in the text. Nineteen new maps have been prepared on the mountain glaciers in the Southern Hemisphere.
