The rock peak at left of center is Crosscut, 2970 m,
which lies on the Millen Range overlooking the polar plateau beyond.

Mt. Holdsworth is a sparking sight in fine weather.

Cloud interrupted surveying from Mt. Holdsworth,
forcing a descent in a whiteout.

Here is Mt. Holdsworth from Camp XI,
after the weather cleared. 11 January.

Joice Icefall feeds this glacier from the plateau.

From Camp XI towards the Joice Icefall, which spills from the polar plateau.
