Snowtrac on the slope
Copied from an old 1966 slide. Snowtrac vehicle fitted with experimental sounding equipment (the booms either side) for measuring the ice thickness. View looking north over Mawson (below the brow of the ice, just right of the vehicle) and showing the relative steepness of the climb to the plateau. Also on skis our glaciologist, who was able to use them like skates on the hard blue ice!

Keep safe. Herb
I was taught (for winter climbing) that many thin layers that trapped warm air between was preferable to a couple of thick layers that didn't! I apply the rule to this day especially when it comes to wearing socks in winter!
Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
