Is 4,000 meters high enough for altitude sickness to be a problem, I wonder? You know, on top of the nad-freezing cold and the hurricane winds.
And incidentally, that's a buttload of ice.
ISTR some conjecture that Antarctica, without the ice, was more than one landmass. I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean more than one continental mass, but if it did, it could account for the mountains.
Me, I'm waiting for the first manned expedition to Lake Vostok.
