PLATE LXVIL KING EDWARD'S LAND. 



FIG. 1 (Map A). From a photograph by C. R. ROYDS (R. 170, 5" x 4"), Feb. 2, 

 1902 ; taken looking S.-E. over the ice-cap of King Edward's Land. 



FIG. 2 (Map A). From a photograph by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 85, |-plate), Feb. 2, 

 1902 ; taken looking S.-E. over the ice-cap of King Edward's Land. 



The rising surface of the ice-sheet, visible in these photographs as a grey line 

 above the cliff, is in reality land-ice, and forms part of the ice-cap of King 

 Edward's Land. 



A tilted berg floats off the Barrier cliff in the centre of the lower picture, while 

 to the right is a lower terraced berg whose level of submergence has altered from 

 time to time. It was unfortunate that the condition of the weather made it 

 impossible to photograph that part of King Edward's Land which not only 

 exhibited ice-clad mountains, but here and there a piece of exposed rock cliff, 

 visible through the ice-cap. (See Plate CXLI.)
