Copied from an old slide. The coastal plateau near the coast around Mawson typically is hard glassy blue ice and not really suited to skiing, but not far inland an area at Fischer Nunatak had suitable snow surfaces, so a field hut had been placed there. Needless to say, there were none of the lifts etc that make skiing somewhat less demanding in "civilised" ski fields!

I had some rolls of 'high speed" Ektachrome (160 ASA) which we developed while at Mawson (under some difficulty). The results were reasonable but gritty due to water shortages limiting washing. See also my comment below about the developing process. This has now been 'digitally cleaned'.
