LIFELESS TERRAIN of Point San Juan is evidenced in this photograph as a 

 caged female sea lion and her pup are hauled over the brow of a steep cliff 

 on an improvised sled. There is no vegetation on this rainless plateau above 

 the sea lion rookeries. But there is life in the air for immense condors soar 

 down from the heights of the Andes, 200 to 300 miles away, to prey on sea lion 

 colonies during the whelping season. The great condor below had a wing- 

 spread of nine and one-half feet.
