let’s leap to the challenge of sustaining and retaining @wyomingpublicmedia.bsky.social , now! thank you @patagonia.com for funding National #NativeNews on WPR
from left to right: Mt Iphigene, Marujupu Pk, and Mt Ferranto. #OchsGlacier is unusual in that it splits and flows around the 'blade' of Marujupu Peak. View is to NNW from the neve between Fosdick and Chester Mountains.

#MarieByrdLand lies west of @zhonggg.bsky.social's current position. MBL forms the high ground whereon the #WestAntarcticIceSheet nucleated and features premier geology bordering #OchsGlacier, including this massif, Mount #Iphigene, named for the daughter of #AdolphOchs who acquired @NYT in 1896.
that’s ten days… one way! that’s true commitment, @milesobrien.com 🙌🏼 ! 😉 #JOIDESResolution (NOT ice class!) once also made that long transit, with me aboard:
