"It's a big wooden thing outside!" The wooden surface these Fids are standing on is the "plan". Originally laid down by the Norwegian whalers in the 1920's the plan was where whales were pulled out of the sea to be flensed, but mainly it was the source of the oldest and most popular joke on base.

| 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. The reunion
weekend was 14-16 September 2007. |
