Getting to Mt Bevin is pretty easy. Start at Invercargill in southern New Zealand and take a 3,000 km boat journey south along the 170° line of longitude until you reach Cape Adare, and from there continue just a little further south into Moubray Bay. Once off the boat and on the ice, just head up Ironside Glacier for 40 kms or so, and just before the end of the glacier turn right where Mt Bevin should be visible up the valley. If ice and weather conditions are favorable, then the summit of Mt Bevin will be only a few more days climb away. Probably worth mentioning that the crevasses on Ironsi...

The most direct route from Moubray Bay to Mt Bevin is up Ironside Glacier. A possible route marked in green is shown on the map below. This example route is just over 50 kms in length. A little research has indicated that this route may not be feasible. This is based on information gained during the 1967 Expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary in the Cape Hallett region . One of the stated objectives of the expedition was: To manhaul up the Ironsides (sic) Glacier and carry out a geological and mapping programme under the direction of a leading geologist and an experienced cartographer, both ...

Climbing Mt Bevin, or any mountain in Antarctica, is a serious undertaking. The climb itself is expected to be moderate in terms of technical challenge, but the remoteness of the mountain and the climate of Antarctica add a layer of complexity. People often ask how hard will the climb be? No one has ever been there, so it is hard to really know. Here is our best guess. The logistics of getting to the mountain and back again safely are somewhat complex. The ice-condition at the time and the judgement of the Ship's Captain will determine the insertion point and ultimately the route taken. Two...
