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.

From an old slide. As the "Nella Dan" left the harbour heading North, there still were jobs to be done on the ship, such as checking the Fairchild Hiller FH1100 helicopters. The small orange boat is the "Macpherson Robertson", used by ANARE as a general work boat. Named after the owner of an Australian confectionery company who had been a major sponsor of Antarctic exploration, it was usually referred to as The Lollypop.

From an old 1966 slide. This is one of the Snowtrac vehicles on the edge of the Antarctic plateau, near Mt Henderson just outside Mawson station. The surface is blue ice and how else would a skier travel except in a Porsche-powered vehicle? :) Yes, the Snowtracs did indeed have Porsche industrial engines.
