Title

Benbreen '12 Bens' showing the results of the 'frost hammer'

Description

View depicting steep sloping rocky mountain terrain. Welch's first love was natural history and this is evident by the caption where he wishes to draw the viewer's attention to the effect of glaciation on the rock face.
