Midnight Sun

Taken at about midnight after we arrived at our final stop for the tractor trains, with the sun still shining due south of us over the ridge running across "Weasel Gap". The name was given to the gap by the only previous expedition to this area, ten years earlier, when they passed through the gap with their light (WW2 vintage) Weasel vehicle.

The area was too badly crevassed for our heavy tractor trains to safely go further, though our survey field party travelled further south with light Snowtrac vehicles. Our tractor trains were stopped just to the left of this image (see PiP).
