In these pictures are represented parts of the coast-line between Cape 

 Washington and Wood Bay, showing the manner in which the slopes of Mount 

 Melbourne terminate seaward. 



Bare foothills there are none, but ice-cliffs are abundant, broken here and 

 there by massive crags of dark volcanic rocks. Bosses and buttresses, such as 

 those shown in Figs. 1 and 3, stand out from the ice-bound coast and afford an 

 insecure foothold here and there, with a gravel beach, for Seals and rookeries of 

 Penguins. Compare Plate CXXXI.
