Et in Antarctica ego
Indeed the Sweeney Mountains are in Antarctica, but in the British Antarctic Territory and so worthy of a listing.
After months of intense work over evenings and lunchtimes recording familiar lands, I relax by noting down the furthermost territories of the realm, which is a vast territory: I got a database from the BAS which makes it easy. I have recently worn myself out on villages and houses of Hampshire, and other rabbit-holes that sent me down. Before I turn to the next county on my list, I am filling in some more blank spaces on the map of the British territories. Soon enough though I will turn to places closer to home. Probably Tyrone next, then Sussex, with an option on Bermuda. RB (talk) 22:22, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
