My Third Trip Out To Cape Evans
Some more photos from Cape Evans. I took these during my third trip out there.A photo from where we made our first stop.
Mt. Erebus through the delta window
Mt. Erebus and the moon, or what we can see of the moon
Close-up photos of the Barne Glacier
Seal blubber on the floor and tent poles up above.
Views of the stables
One of the mules' names, stenciled on the wall across from its stall in the stables. The mules were brought down when they went to search for Scott's party that died while returning from the South Pole.
Losses to Date: A photo from inside the hut at Cape Evans. From the 1915-1917 expedition. On the inside of Dick Richards’ bunk was penciled: “RW Richards August 14, 1916–Losses to Date” and then four names: “Haywood, Mack, Smith and Shack (?)” because Ernest Shackleton had by then been stranded thousands of miles away and was presumed dead. Shackleton survived his ordeal after loosing his ship Discovery to the ice and returned in 1917 to rescue his men.
The officers' bunks in the hut.
