Tararua Antarctic Expedition, 1962-63

Icy Panorama

Nunataks forming the West Quartzite Range
dot the plateau 16 km west of survey station H2.

Nearby, "streaming" ice flow past a small nunatak
indicates a slope northwards, towards the Rennick Glacier névé.

View north from H2 across the Lloyd Icefall, which descends to the Rennick névé.

View northeast from H2.

The Rennick Glacier flows north
to the Oates Coast of Antarctica,
which lies south of Tasmania.
