Remember the food found in the remote Antarctic field camp from the early 1970's buried under 10 feet of snow? If not look here (http://peterflaig.blogspot.com/2011/02/1960s-breakfast-seriously-we-ate-food.html). They also found Candy!! For me one of the coolest things about this photo is that Dr. David Elliot (upper right in this image) was actually at the buried camp in the early 1970's. He remembered eating both the breakfast food and the candy when he was at that camp. :)
The tents in the foreground include the Mech Tent, Communications, two Science Jamesways, and the triple-long Galley tent. In the Background are three sleeper Jamesways for the Pilots, the Wash Tent (Shower), and our Tent City. Dry goods are stored in the boxes on stilts to the right of the image and the white door barely visible on the right leads underground to the frozen food locker dug into the glacier.
- I created this blog so that other people could catch a glimpse of the Alaska that I am fortunate enough to see every day. My time in Alaska may be limited, and there is beauty in most everything here. It would be a shame if it were never shared.
