Am getting nowhere with Antarctica, so think that will try somewhere else. doesn`t help that coordinates are different on different sites for the same place!

Did find a brilliant map of the area, and an index for cross referencing: http://ortho.linz.govt.nz/antarctic/ but has got me nowhere. The map file is large, and the site recommends that you save it rather than opening it, but its the best I have seen yet.

It's GOT to be Mars. It's a silver, and if it had been 'Scott's Cabin' or something like that I think that wouldn't do a silver justice. I've put in a request to the nice people at FIMA (they co-ordinated the search for the Mars Polar Lander) to see if they have any more detailed info.

Still on Antarctica. the following page has a lot of interesting possibilities:-

Fantastic list. Don't think anyone's tried tryggve point, but the other nearby names have been mentioned.
Clutching at straws, as they don't have the right coordinates, could try Ice Berg Tongue or Icecube Tongue from the telling lies angle or Mount Vision or Observation Hill from the you'll have to see it for yourself one.

Whilst this isn't amazingly helpful, could "What Lies Here?" mean what isnt telling the truth, or what isnt accurate?
Maybe something along those lines.

Then, maybe it's any of the following, assuming "lies" as in "misinforms":

a quick note, for those who weren't in IRC:

A rough reckoning says that these coordinates pin us down to a box that's roughly 3m(north-south) by 0.6m (east-west) (that's 10 feet by 2 feet for the yanks Wink

)

So, uh, quite precise Wink

i've not worked it out for mars yet, but that'll depends on the relative sizes of earth and mars
