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.

Günter Klaus, Frans Schols, Erhard Bernstein, Maria and 31 other people have particularly liked this photo

I so like the view to the shape of the plateau
so cold . . but so fresh and more healthy there
than here at the moment, I think, anyway :)

once again George the comment box I cannot see
on your next uploaded picture and so cannot comment,

I have no idea . . but it is frustrating . . . its a beautiful
image with great light . . .

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;-)
