PLATE CLIL MOUNT MARKHAM AND THE VIEW TO THE S. 



FROM 82 16' 33" S. lat. 



From a sketch made at the farthest point reached to the southward on the Southern 

 Sledge Journey ; Dec. 28, 1902, 9 P.M. (Map A.) 



Mount Markham lies fully 40 miles back from the coast. With its three main 

 peaks, 15,100 feet, 12,300 feet, and 11,050 feet high, clad in snow from top to 

 bottom, yet so generally precipitous that none of the outlines are lost or even 

 blunted, this mountain is a very magnificent sight. 



The drawing was made at the last outward camp. On the extreme left, and 

 situated in 83 S. lat., is Cape Goldie, running out from the Longstaff Mountains. 

 Shackletou Inlet, with its flow of ice into the barrier mass running out between 

 Cape Lyttelton and Cape Wilson, divides the Mount Markham land-mass to the S. 

 from the land-mass of the "Pyramid and Table Mountain Range " to the N. And 

 as at the more northern ice-flow from Barne Inlet, so here, an immense disturb- 

 ance is created where this great ice-river mingles with the ice of the Great 

 Barrier, a disturbance which is evident in waves and radiating rents and cracks 

 extending for a score of miles around the point of junction.
