This paper will describe what it was like to map Arctic glaciers starling 62 years ago in Iceland; then in Nordaustland, Svalbard, in 1935–36; and finally in northwest Greenland and Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, Canada, in 1937–38. The glacier in Iceland was resurveyed by a party including me in 1992; and I made a less successful attempt to resurvey the Greenland glacier in 1993.

Hexatylus mulveyi n. sp. and Deladenus durus (Cobb, 1922) Thorne, 1941, collected from soil in the Lake Hazen area of Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, are figured and described. H. mulveyi differs from H. viviparus Goodey, 1926 in the shape of the tail, the number of incisures, the single line of oocytes in the ovary, and in the vulva having elevated lips.
