PLATE LXIL A HIGH ICE-CLIFF. 



From a photograph by L.

C. BERNACCHI (Be. 64a, i-plate), Feb. 2, 1902. 



This, the highest ice-wall that we met with, had an estimated height of 280 feet 

 above the water. It appeared as we returned on our way to the west along King 

 Edward's Land. Most of the bergs by which we were surrounded here were 

 grounded, and the ice-cliff along which we sailed formed the edge of a snow-plain 

 rising southward very gradually to about a thousand feet, as an ice- cap to King 

 Edward's Land. 



See also Plate LXIV., in which Fig. 1 represents the same ice-cliff, from a 

 different point of view.
