PLATE XL. MOUNT EREBUS FROM THE S.-W. 



From photographs by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 213-215 inclusive, fplates), Nov. 4, 1902 ; 

 looking N.-E. from Tent Island. (Map B.) 



The actual summit of Mount Erebus is in this picture clouded, but the heavy 

 ice-cloak of the western slopes is well shown. Along the coast can be seen here 

 and there outcrops of volcanic rock in high and steep cliffs, over the edge of which 

 the ice-sheet breaks in cascades and avalanches. 



Two of the Delbridge Islands are also visible standing up through the sea-ice.^ 

 To the left of the centre is "Little Razorback Island," and "Razorback Island" 

 covers the left end of the rocky cliffs on the extreme right of the picture. 

 "Inaccessible Island," the third of this group of islets, is not visible in this picture, 

 but lies to the left of the " Skuary," the rocky headland on the extreme left.
