CRUISE OF STEAMEB CORWIN IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN. 147 heavily abraded. It appeals, therefore, that the thickness of the ice-sheet throughout a consid-erable portion of its history was not less than 2,500 feet and probably more, over the northernportion of the region now covered by Bering Sea and part of the Arctic Ocean. Now, in view of this colossal ice-flood grinding on throughout the hundreds of thousands ofyears of the Glacial period, the excavation of the shallow basins of Bering Sea and Strait and ArcticOcean must be taken as only a small part of the erosion effected; for so shallow are these waters,were the tallest sequoias planted on the bottom where soundings have been made, their topswould rise in most places 100 f et or more above the surface. The, Plover Bay glacier, as we haveshown, eroded the granite in the formal ion of its channel to a depth of not less than 2,000 feet,and the amount of erosion effected by the ice-sheet was probably much greater.
