Description
English: A view of the crew of a dog sledge cutting a road in the ice below the cliffs of Cape Rawson

Sledging party rounding Cape Rawson on top of ice foot piled up 30 feet above the level ice against the shore. The ice caused significant problems for the sledging parties in the spring of 1876. The official report records one such expedition: ‘the journey was an incessant battle to overcome ever recurring obstacles, each hard won success stimulating them for the next struggle. A passage way had always to be cut through the squeezed-up ice with pick-axes, an extra one being carried for the purpose, and an incline picked out of the perpendicular side of the high floes or roadway built up, before the sledges, generally one at a time, could be brought on’.
