Brown Bluff, James Ross Island

Brown Bluff, bare and rust-colored, rises 2225 feet above sea level and looks more like a western landscape than the Antarctic Peninsula. It is a volcanic structure with an extended ice cap. Debris from erosion has created a beach-like shoreline that is home to Adelie and Gentoo penguin colonies.
