Description :
This paper reports the 1989 re-mapping of Lemon Creek Glacier, and, in conjunction with 1948 and 1957 maps of the glacier, calculation of 9-year and 32-year changes of glacier mass and terminal position. As in the earlier maps, the new map is at a scale of 1:10,000 with a 5-m contour interval for the glacier surface. Changes between 1957 and 1989 were determined by use of the geodetic method for determining mass balance.
