AN ICE CAVE IN THE ANTARCTIC.—New Zealanders exploring one of the big ice caves in the end of the great glacier tongue which extends about five miles into McMurdo Sound. The glacier flows to the sea from the ice fields on Mount Erebus. In winter these caves can be reached by vehicle—a distance of 15 miles from Scott Base—but in mid-summer there is open sea and the floors of many caves are filled with sea water.
