How many hours cumulatively did I spend
standing at this window? There was a wind-speed gauge and thermometer
from the anno tower on the adjacent wall to the right, so it was a good place to
stand after lunch, dinner or smoko and discuss what the weather was
doing and might do in the near future. I'm surprised I only took the one
picture from it in the two years I was there, it would have been an
ideal place for a picture a month sequence.
| 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. |
