By the mid 1970's Signy base had grown to a collection of buildings with the pale yellow "Plastic Hut" (an ex GPO telephone exchange apparently) erected in 1963 as the accommodation block on the top floor. The bottom floor of the plastic hut and other buildings were a collection of laboratories, workshops and storage spaces.

This picture is one of a collection assembled in 2007 on the 60th anniversary of Signy Island Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W. Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd and then placed here on the web.

My commentary is taken from notes I was sent with the pictures if any. Corrections or additions, please

The reunion weekend was 14-16 September 2007.
