An Iceberg off Cape Royds

'A good illustration of the appearance of a tabular berg newly 'calved' away from the Great Ice Barrier. The clean cut line of the fracture where it broke away from the parent glacier, shows that it has not been long subject to the erosive action of wind and water. The berg is about a hundred feet high, and as only about the eighth part is visible above water, there are some seven hundred feet of ice below the surface. In the distance the peaks of the Western Mountains can be seen.' (The British Antarctic Expedition 1910-1913, Exhibition of Photographic Pictures of Mr. Herbert G. Ponting F.R.G.S., The Rushworth Hall, Liverpool, illustrated descriptive catalogue, p.21, no.117)
