A map of the South Polar Regions. 221 
was sighted, to which was given the name of Lindenberg. Cap- 
tain Larsen says in his journal: 
This volcano had the shape of a sugar-loaf and was of considerable 
height. The ice was melted for a considerable distance around it. It pre- 
sented a remarkable aspect, as around the top and on the slopes there 
were funnel-like holes, from which a very black and thick smoke issued 
from time to time, covering the top itself. In short, it was in full activity. 
Figure 3.—The Antarctic Continent. 
The Antarctic Continent—Figure 3 is a map of the Antarctic 
continent according to Murray. He estimates the area as 
nearly 4,000,000 square miles, or a continent with a greater 
area than Australia. According to Ross, the rocks of Franklin, 
Cockburn and Possession islands are of volcanic origin, and in 
his dredgings to the east of Victoria land volcanic rock was 
found, but with some fragments of gray granite.
