The open water was practically up to the Glacier Tongue.
We descended by an easy slope 1/4 mile from the end of the Glacier Tongue, but found ourselves cut off by an open crack some 15 feet across and had to get on the glacier again and go some 1/2 mile farther in.

We came to a second crack, but avoided it by skirting to the west.

From this point we had an easy run without difficulty to Hut Point.

There was a small pool of open water and a longish crack off Hut Point.

I got my feet very wet crossing the latter.
