Spectacular ice cliffs, wind scours, hallucinations, ridge lines, melt streams, frozen lakes, sunscreen in eyes and more to cap off the walking. Arrived at the Melon at 18:30 and collapsed inside out of the sun. What a relief! Bloody hot in the sun, in fact sweating bullets would really sum up the afternoon! Great view as we skirted along the Plateau but the sun softened snow really is annoying!
The above photo is along the southern side of Trajer Ridge looking west towards the Melon. Below is a photo of just one of the many cool rocks in the Vestfold Hills.
The next couple of days proved to be more of a winter paradise as the wind and snow was constantly driving into our faces.
However I did find time to pose as an Xmas Star in brief moment oif clarity. Watts Hut is just out of sight behind the rock at knee height on my right hand side!
