From an old 1966 slide. This group of serious looking people was part of one of the doctor's regular experiments on acclimatisation (generally called "cold runs"). The idea was to stand around outdoors for a given period, then record how cold it felt ... goodness knows if it proved much!

Copied from an old slide taken in 1966, at Mawson Antarctica. We still had dog teams and this was our lead sled dog, who went by the name of Orhog. He was quite a character and also enjoyed posing for the cameras. All the huskies were removed in later years, when new international agreements banned imported animals in Antarctica. Some blatant advertising. For the 50th anniversary of our expedition, I wrote a book which is available online as either a hard cover or inexpensive .pdf download. It covers the material I've shown here plus a lot more narrative and images (also some previously untold stories). If you visit the link I've given, you can view a preview by clicking on the book cover, then click on the diagonal arrow at top right to enlarge, then just click the image to flip the pages.
