Ffanks John

As for Mr Vagrom two for *&^%$# sake indeed or I'll come round Baff you. Seriously, Baffin Island?? As Goldfinger one famously quipped to Mr Bond, " Make your next witticism a good one Mr Bond...it may be your last"

Now on with the game, this ones in Asia and has something in common with the last picture ( that folks is what's commonly called a HINT!)

Name this very important Hindu Temple.
That's all ffor nnow.

OK, 44 views no answers. Time for another hint.

The access is by cable car which rises the best part of a km and the cable car station is halfway ( or so) between the 2 main cities in this country.

Orkney?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

You have narrowed it down. Need the name of the mountain or the crater, bonus points for both.
