PLATE CIX. ON THE GREAT ICE BARRIER. 



FIG. 1 (Map A). From ajihotograph by E. H. SHACKLETON (Sh. 189, ^-plate), 

 Dec. 30, 1902 ; taken looking W. to Cape Wilson from the farthest camp, 

 82 16' 33" S. lat. 



FIG. 2 (Map A). From photographs by E. H. SHACKLETON (Sh. 187 and 188, 

 ^-plates), Dec. 28, 1902 ; taken looking W. towards Shackleton Inlet from 

 the farthest camp. 



FIG. 3 (Map A). From a photograph by E. H. SHACKLETON (Sh. 186, |-plate), 

 Dec. 31, 1902 ; looking W. to the line of Buttress Rocks, on the coast of the 

 mainland. 



In these three photographs can be very indistinctly seen the southermost land 

 at present known. On the extreme left, in Fig. 2, is Mount Longstaff (10,350 

 feet) and Cape Goldie. Between this and the tent comes Mount Markham (15,100 

 feet at the central peak) ; Shackleton Inlet lies between Cape Lyttleton on the left 

 and Cape Wilson on the right. 



The photographs were taken at the last camp of the outward journey, in 

 82 16' 33" S. lat, on Dec. 30, 1902, when we turned homeward.
