This is one of the best winter shots of the base I've seen, all nice and snowy and white and what looks to be some very impressive sea-smoke build up in the back ground. It was well worth going up the snow shoot in what must have been less than pleasant conditions to get this picture and Gordon certainly earned his mug of tea and thick slab of toast on return (I'm assuming it was a traditional snackette).

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.
