Description: | Crispin day, leader of the Arcturus Syd Kap Expedition 1998, skilfully chose this site for the inland camp. The two huge rocks made its location, adjacent to the river flowing into the Kangerterajiva Bay, instantly recognisable. they also provided shelter for tents and cooking. There was easy access from this camp onto the surrounding hills, including Pythagoras Bjerg (1378m). |
