Sketch map of the Glaciers of Kangchenjunga.

This important 'Sketch-map of the Glaciers of Kangchenjunga’, by E.J. Garwood was prepared on Freshfield's expedition of 1899, a red line in red pen and ink is showing the track. In lead pencil 'Capt Bousteads route from May 1926 has been added to the map. Printed in brow, blue and black color.

The map is in a scale 1 : 125,000 and for the region shows a considerable improvement on the Survey of India map. Greater importance was attached to the representation of mountain features, as Freshfield pushed forward on all sides towards Kangchenj unga.
Garwood visited a large number of high points, which are distributed throughout the area, and made a rapid survey from them. He also took several photographs.

The map shows the lie of the main mountain ridges and also their branches towards the smaller side ranges in a generally accurate and complete manner.
The glaciers, including the side ones, are depicted with particular care and are accurately mapped in position and size; their features, such as moraines and crevasses, are shown; and although the map is somewhat lacking as regards being an exact representation of the ground-e.g. it contains only rough shading and no contours-yet it will always be a good example of what a general map should be, and in many respects even now it can serve as a model for methods of survey and representation of features. It has proved itself complete and reliable in the Zemu area within the limits prescribed for it.

Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world, and lies partly in Nepal and partly in Sikkim, India.
It rises with an elevation of 8,586 m (28,169 ft) in a section of the Himalayas and lies about 125 km (78 mi) east-south-east of Mount Everest.
It is the second highest mountain of the Himalayas. Kangchenjunga Main is the highest mountain in India and until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations based on various readings and measurements made by the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest, known as Peak XV at the time, was the highest. Allowing for further verification of all calculations, it was officially announced in 1856 that Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world.
Kangchenjunga was first climbed on 25 May 1955 by Joe Brown and George Band, who were part of a British expedition. (source Wikipedia).
