ANTARCTICA - JOURNEY TO THE ICE

View of Mt Henderson from the ice plateau, East Antarctica

Affectionately known as 'Hendo'...

A day trip up to Mt Henderson completed my visit to all 3 plateau huts in the Mawson area. This was my first trip on the ice plateau without perfect weather as well. Overcast skies have the unfortunate effect of removing surface definition from the ice (there are no shadows), making depth judgement much more dificult. Driving on this type of surface requires extreme concentration.
