Trendy skier and Porsche

Trendy skier and Porsche
Copied from an old slide. One of my colleagues reclining on a Snowtrac vehicle on the edge of the Antarctic plateau, near Mt Henderson just outside Mawson station. The surface is hard snow-free blue ice. As would be expected, how else would a trendy skier travel except in a Porsche-powered vehicle? The Snowtracs had Porsche industrial engines. :-) This one was fitted with sounding equipment for glaciology measurements, Best viewed large.

Many thanks for this note, Bev. I can't see how it happened, but the privacy settings on the next image were different from my usual - now fixed. And thank you for your kind comment. :-)

Haha, I wonder whether this Porsche was produced in the town where I live- straight from Stuttgart to the Antarctic;-)
