A frozen pond at 86°24´S in the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
Abstract The highest-elevation and a far southern pond in the Transantarctic Mountains is briefly documented. The small pond, at an elevation of ~2350 m, was frozen when it was visited in the 1963–1964 field season, and satellite imagery suggests it has remained frozen since 2010. A second frozen pond is noted, but its precise location is uncertain.
