First blizzard
From an old slide. When you photograph weather going past at 140 km/hr (75 knots), using 25 ISO film in low light, you finish up with a long exposure and a blur that looks more like fog! This image was taken from the window of the Meteorological office. Blizzards were common, with typically one or two of significance monthly.
This blizzard arrived just when we took over from the previous expedition, in fact the change-over celebration party was on at the time. I found myself on shift that evening and also the following morning, when I took this photo.
The highest wind gust went to 105 knots (about 195 km/hr) and during the night the Nella Dan broke her moorings and began drifting. Fortunately the Captain and senior engineer had stayed on board with a skeleton crew and were able to run the ship against the rocky shore under half power, keeping her there that way until the winds subsided a day later. See PiP.
