"mountains,' towering far to the east, is a
dizzy drop of more than four miles.
Our line of travel, just south of the equator,
fer miles hangs over an awful pit. 1t is at the
end Of an immense trough like the Buchanan
Deep, further south, but it is sudden deciv-
ity that yawns in the sem-circle of the con-
Meeting plateau.
Reaching the Challenger Plateau, the last
link of the mid-Atlantic ridge, our route again
. takes the center of the ocean and we travel due
south toward the Antarctic. The plateau ends
opposite the Buenos Ayres harbor and is
shaped something like the Italian "boot" Only
the Atlantic is 'haved'' in this way by
central ridge.
From height of about 5000 feet above
the surrounding oceanic plains the ridge slopes
gradually toward the Antarctic until it reaches
profound depth of $4,000 feet and loses itself
in the largest of the submarine valleys yet
discovered, Ross Deep. 1t extends across the
farthest reaches of the south Atlantic and
stretches away into the Indian Ocean, The

its walls measure 27972 feet; Mount McKin-
ley, North Americas highest peak, with it's
20,400-foot height, would not reach within a
mile and half of the brink of this appalling
abyss.
The West Indies, viewed from our vantage
point on the plateau, are great mountain
range Some Of the steepest peaks stop not
more than 800 feet below the "f1at tops" that
are islands. These majestic mountains that
rear their heads near but never look above
the roll Of the waves are the "treacherous

fear.

Indian Ocean. A narrow ridge makes a con-
venient bridge from the continent to the great
plateau which encircles the entire Indian Ocean
bed like the seats around an arena, making
it's floor into sort of vast amphitheater. Our
natural bridge leaves the very tip of the land
and on the map it looks as if Africa had been
shaped with an enormous cookie cutter and
the connecting ridge and the plateau were still
clinging like leftover dough. Anyway, we
are grateful for plain road and follow the
ridge down long, gradual descent that takes
us about a mile below sea level before we
finally reach the fiat stretch of the plateau.
We may as we'll keep to the middle of the
plateau, because it is as wide as the United

ridge that divides the Atlantic into east and
west basins. Looking across the plains that
stretch away two miles beneath us we may be
able to sight the long, dark cash the Sigsbee
Deep makes on the seemingly boundless
plains.
We want to go over to the eastern side of
the plateau because on clear day with good
glasses we can get view Of a group of fiat
topped mountains. Our first glimpse of them
will show us that they are different from the
mountains have known, because all the
vegetation grows on their crests and their
foothills are as bare as the peaks Of the
