Meet Orhog

Copied from an old slide taken in 1966, at Mawson Antarctica. We still had dog teams and this was our lead sled dog, who went by the name of Orhog. He was quite a character and also enjoyed posing for the cameras. All the huskies were removed in later years, when new international agreements banned imported animals in Antarctica.

Some blatant advertising. For the 50th anniversary of our expedition, I wrote a book which is available online as either a hard cover or inexpensive .pdf download. It covers the material I've shown here plus a lot more narrative and images (also some previously untold stories). If you visit the link I've given, you can view a preview by clicking on the book cover, then click on the diagonal arrow at top right to enlarge, then just click the image to flip the pages.

Such a moving shot Georges ! I am glad to know you are a writer. I am very fond myself of archives and reports of mine in an association I am involved in. We have a strong point in common.
