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

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.

With the tires being chained, the ride could be like an old horse carriage -- bumpy?
