PLATE CXLI1L MINNA BLUFF AND THE COAST-LINE SOUTH, 



FROM MOUNT DISCOVERY. 



From a sketch made on the Southern Sledge Journey; Jan. 25, 1903, 3 to 6 P.M. 

 (Map A.) 



In this sketch is included the coast-line from the extremity of Minna Bluff on 

 the right to Barne Inlet on the left. 



Minna Bluff has been already described (see Plate CXI., fig. 1) as a pro- 

 montory running out to the S.-E. from Mount Discovery. Mount Discovery lias 

 a height above sea-level of 9085 feet, while Mount Morning has a height of 5779 

 feet. Behind the latter, on this bearing, the peaks of the Royal Society Range 

 are hidden, except Mount Huggins, Mount Cocks, and Mount Kempe. 



Skelton Inlet here forms a break in the continuity of the coast-line, and to the 

 south of it come in succession, Mount Harmsworth, 9644 feet; Mount Speyer, 

 8913 feet ; and Mount Dawson Lambton, 8675 feet. 



Mulock Inlet, between Cape Teale and Cape Lankester, forms another 

 break, and a new range commences with Mount Keltic, 8910 feet. This range 

 continues with Mount Chalmers, 7865 feet ; Mount Longhurst and Mount Hughes, 

 7690 feet and 25 miles inland ; Mount Mill and Mount Reeves, 5885 feet ; and 

 the Darwin Mountains, 6200 feet ; the last lying more than 30 miles inland from the 

 coast. Still farther southward are the Goorkha Craters and a glacier, and then a 

 mountain chain which runs inland to the S.-W., forming the northern boundary of 

 Barne Inlet. It has numerous peaks, which, however, appear only in miniature 

 at the extreme left end of this sketch, but are represented in greater detail and 

 at shorter range in Plates CXLV. and CXLVI. 



PLATE CXLIV. MINNA BLUFF. 



From a sketch made on the Southern Sledge Journey; Jan. 27, 1903, 10 P.M. 

 (Map A.) 



The highest point in this drawing of Minna Bluff has a height above sea-level 

 of 3590 feet. The sharp point just below and before it has a height of 1521 feet. 



The sketch is made looking due N., and shows some of the immense snow- 

 drifts which collect in the southern angle of this long wall of rock. 



At its extremity the ice is in an exceedingly disturbed condition for many miles, 

 owing to its movement northward past the rocky headland.
