Re: [Colm] Antarctica BASE
FWIW, I know that at least one jump has been done in antartica, it was near the main research station there (the name of which I forget) by a base jumper who later died on a skydive into that continent.

I hope to be able to offer some much more close-up photos in a few months.

The best cliffs (e.g. Rakekniven), and presumebly, the highest cliff (that is, the longest vertical drop) are in Queen Maud land. Just 2 problems:
1) Very inaccesable.
2) Expedition type access: long climb, very expensive.
