Tonsberg House from a little way up the back-slope. A short jetty can be seen, used for moving cargo in or out of the base. The white box behind the hut is a "Stevenson Screen" used to hold meteorological (weather recording) instruments and would be accessed twice a day to allow measurements to be taken.
