Couldn't resist posting these fabulous images from Michael Martin's collection. They are from the Drygalski Range in Antarctica -- and extraordinary set of nunataks in which massive vertical cliffs and sharp peaks abound.
You can see the location of the lower photo in the upper one -- it's the huge vertical cliff to left of centre, with a vast snowfield beyond. Look at the men for scale..........
