From an old slide. Technically the quality of this is awful, with grit everywhere (much edited out). I've included it partly because of historical value and partly because it helps explain the quality of this and several later shots. In 1966 we still obtained our water supply in the 'traditional' way, by collecting snow by hand from snowdrifts and melting it: I doubt modern Antarctic stations have done this for years. The result was that water was always very limited. This was a daily routine after lunch and there always were a few stray husky pups around.

I had a few rolls of "high speed" Ektachrome (160 ISO) and processing those at the station provided the only way to see any of our colour slide photos before our return the following year. But the lack of water meant they were not adequately washed.... hence! It's also fair to say that processing colour slides stretched both our competence and facilities.
