Moraine Ridge, Organ Pipe Valley, Antarctica

This moraine ridge is less than 1 m high, but is visible because of the less weathered rocks comprising it. The moraine is essentially a bathtub ring from an arm of the Hatherton Glacier that moved from the left up into Organ Pipe Valley. It is called Organ Pipe Valley because of the columnar basalt visible on the right side of the image. Can you spot the three people in the image? (labeled version)
