A view of the main base hut in February 1912, just prior to its
completion. Within a few days of the taking of this picture the hut
became so buried in packed snow that ever afterwards little beyond the
roof was to be seen

ice adhering to it

A Panoramic view looking south from near the hut. In the distance are
the slopes of the inland ice-sheet. In the foreground is the terminal
moraine. Between the rocks and the figure is a zone where rapid thawing
takes place in the summer owing to the amount of dirt contained in the
ice

A panoramic view looking north towards the sea. In the middle of the
picture is Round Lake. The hut is towards the left-hand side and the
anemograph is on the hill. The men are practising ski running
