I had loads of haircutting pictures sent to me to include in this collection, so apologies to those people who sent them without them being used, but once you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all! Now a haircutting picture in an obviously Antarctic environment would be something different (but I don't have one of those).

Having your haircut did seem to be a big deal though as in the rest of your life up to and after the Antarctic it would be something that most people would only ever pay a professional hairdresser to do.

What's the difference between a good hair cut and a bad haircut? - about a week.

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.
