- If you want to pin this real cool picture on your wall for the rest of the summer, it might act as an inexpensive air conditioner. In winter take it down. One overheated July day when artist John Clymer was motoring in Alaska he paused at this spot and let the frigid breeze off the Portage Glacier stroke his fevered brow. People came, as you see, and boated around beside the small bergs, a sort of summerfied kind of iceboating. Next day, when John returned to sketch, a change of wind had blown Mother Nature’s chopped ice over against the glacier, and the sketching spot was as hot as Tophet. He could have got cool by taking a dip in the ice water; in fact, he could have got pneumonia. The artist says no, he did not go over and take a ride on the glacier.
