The sod comes curving down to the waters edge, forming smooth outswelling banks overlapping glacier boulders in some places, + here you find mats of dwarf willow, which send up a gray silky breard [sic] of catkins illumined with the purple cups + bells of bryanthus + vaccinium. Go where you may you everywhere"
