Climbing to the plateau
Copy from an old negative developed at Mawson and reposted larger than previously. This is the preparation for the start of the 1966 Spring Trip from Mawson, showing two tractors hauling a caravan to the plateau. It was too steep and slippery on the blue ice for one to be able to pull the loaded vans and, even then, it had to be one of the larger vans at a time. Once there, the caravans and sledges were organised into three tractor trains (see PiP).
Mawson station is on the rock at right of the harbour - viewed large you may be able to see some buildings and radio masts. In the distance is an assortment of icebergs among the sea ice.
Much as they're trying to pretend, the husky pups really weren't hauling anything. :)

Assembling the tractor trains on the plateau. Each was pulled by a D4 bulldozer. The VW was there only for the send-off.
