Abstract
AN Anglo-Canadian-American expedition, sponsored by F. S. Smyth, and consisting of seven members, was able during the past summer (1947) to carry out the exploration of the Lloyd George Mountains, which are situated in northern, British Columbia. This mountain group lies just south of lat. 58° N., and only the foothill district to the south of it had previously been visited. The name Lloyd George Mountains, in honour of the late British premier, was given in 1916 by P. L. Haworth, who made a difficult journey to the lake, now named after him. It was Haworth Lake, fed by the melt-waters draining the Lloyd George Icefield, which was utilized by this year‘s expedition as a base.
