To Rumdoodle by VW

To Rumdoodle by VW
Copied from an old slide taken in 1966. Several old caravans had been permanently tied down at points away from Mawson for recreational trips: one such is the small orange dot in the distance beyond the VW (registration plate "Antarctica 3"). Another shot in the PiP.

This was taken at a peak in the North Masson Range, known as "Rumdoodle" - now the official name for the area. The name came from a very popular (and still available) satirical book on Himalayan expeditions "The Ascent of Rumdoodle", which was often echoed by reality in the Antarctic. Details are here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ascent_of_Rum_Doodle

Oh, man ... Just like their namesakes, you could find them anywhere and everywhere. But, jeez ... Antartica! Not much insect life there, I imagine ... :)
Perfect composition, too, George. It enhances the "startle factor".
Your Antartica series was one of the things that hooked me to Ipernity when I first made my way here. I am glad it gets a chance to be back in the spot light.

Many thanks, Udo. VW Australia gained quite a bit of local advertising by having these on the ice.
