WOAH. TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! I see that you are friends with Judith, I wonder if her incredible Antarctica images prompted you to scan in this picture (and others I hope?)...wow...you've been there too. So amazing. Such a hard place, so far from civilization, esp when you went in '66!!! MY GOODNESS, I was only 2 yrs old...it was so unseen at that time, incredible that you were there!!!!! Thanks for the picture and the thought-provoking nature of it! Amazing!!

Thank you very much everyone. This photo was significant to me, as it marked our most southerly base camp: we were the first expedition to visit this area and did shorter trips from here. It comes from my album "Antarctica (back then)", which I have imported as a set from f****r and, as I have not changed the upload dates for most of the photos, the shots are at the beginning of my photostream. I shall update a few key shots, such as this - but feel free to peruse the album. :)
