Balloon away
From an old slide. Apart from other activities, whenever possible a weather balloon went up daily, to give some information on upper air flows in the Prince Charles Mountains area of Antarctica. Tracking was visual, by theodolite. In the background are a pair of Polaris "Sno Traveler" vehicles (and a motorcycle near the D4 on the right - I do not recall that it ever was used on the trip).
