PLATE CXXIIL KNOB HEAD MOUNTAIN. 



FIG. 1 (Map B). From a photograph by E. W. SKELTON (Sk. 310, ^-plate), Dec. 12, 

 1903; showing an ice-cascade in the Ferrar Glacier, between Cathedral 

 Rocks and Knob Head Mountain. The latter is seen just above and 

 beyond the ice-fall. From the level surface above the fall to the surface 

 on which the sledge rests is about six hundred feet. 



For the description of a descent with a loaded sledge down such a fall 

 in thick weather, the reader should refer to Captain Scott's account in the 

 Voyage of the ' Discovery,' vol. ii., p. 279 ; see also, Ferrar, Nat. Hist. Rep., 

 vol. i, pp. 69, 83. 



FIG. 2 (Map B). From a photograph by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 300, i-plate), Dec. 9, 

 1903 ; showing the lower rocks of columnar dolerite in situ, with debris of 

 the lateral moraine at the foot of Knob Head Mountain. The photograph 

 was taken in the lateral moraine, and shows the vertical side of the glacier 

 beyond. The large boulder on the sky-line is of granite. See Ferrar, 

 Nat. Hist. Rep., voL i., p. 51.
