Getting up Mt. Gudmundson didn't look so easy as there was a very steep ice and snow bank forming a razorback up to the rocky outcrops. |
In the hills are the nimble klipspringers which explore these hilly rocky outcrops. |
There are 13 main islands in the archipelago, plus four islets and some 40 outcrops of jagged rocks. |
Although they seem barren, the flat rock outcrops, known as pavement rock, support some lichens and mosses. |
They were only cobbles and small, irregular outcrops, not large ledges of obviously layered strata. |
However, current field analyses of the flow structures suggest the outcrops are individual lava domes. |
