Looks like coal in this case. In the summer it was important to make a map of what was stored where outside as the winter could lead to it being buried under much ice and snow. If you were going to go to the effort of digging something out, you wanted to make sure it was what you thought it would be when you got down to it!

| 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. |
