Alletsch, in Switzerland, according to Ball, in Alpine Guide—Length 15 miles, average width 1 mile. I think most probably if the average width was obtained by first calculating the area in the manner I have done, this glacier would be found to be much narrower. Ball says it is " fully a mile wide; " but without actual measurement it is not reliable.
