LIFE IN THE ANTARCTIC 



655 



A GROTTO IN AN ICKBERG 



This unique study was made from the heart of an iceberg. The grotto was formed by a 

 berg as it turned over, carrying up with it a large floe, which froze on to it, leaving this 

 beautiful cavern, through which it was possible to walk for more than a hundred feet. By 

 good fortune, at the time the artist reached this spot, the Terra Nora could be seen in the 

 distance. This and the seven succeeding illustrations of Antarctic life are from photographs 

 made by Herbert G. Pouting, the official photographer of the British Antarctic Expedition 

 under Capt. Robert F. Scott.
