Rolling past Depot Peak

Back to my updates of old copied Antarctic slides. We were delayed for some days near Mt Twintops (previous image in series) by bad weather. We also had done our major climbing onto the Antarctic plateau at that point (to about 1500M above sea level), so we left one dozer there and reassembled everything into two trains of sleds. After a day's travel, again we were stopped by weather. Then at last, we had clear weather and good travelling. The D4 tractors rattled along at about walking speed and, with several fuel stops, we made a little over 25 miles (40 km) on our best day. Given the right conditions, such as this, walking alongside was enjoyable. Best viewed large.

Thanks, Udo. We were away for 15 months from Australia, 12 of them at Mawson (and away from there for almost 4 months on this trip).

These photos are pretty good for being almost 55 years old George. What an experience! Looks like hard but exciting work that you obviously survived well with. Cheers for sharing.

Keep safe. Herb
