Field hut at Fischer Nunatak

Copied from an old slide. The coastal plateau near the coast around Mawson typically is hard glassy blue ice and not really suited to skiing, but not far inland an area at Fischer Nunatak had suitable snow surfaces, so a field hut had been placed there. Taken near sunset during a skiing excursion in the Snowtrac vehicle, with the North Masson and David ranges in the background and Mt Hordern far away to the right.

This is from some rolls of 'high speed" Ektachrome (160 ASA/ISO) which we developed while at Mawson. The results were reasonable but gritty due to water shortages limiting washing. This has now been 'digitally cleaned' to some extent.
