I discover the extent of the other base facilities and they are equally impressive. Probably the most important is the wireless tent, essential for obtaining up-to-date weather information and relaying news of whatever emergencies are occurring, either here or at another station. There are several stores, a reading and library tent, and a medical and treatment tent which possibly doubles as the doctor’s sleeping quarters. Also electrical and service tents which house the aircraft spare parts. The larger tents have fullsized entrance doors, windows and the dining tent has insulated floors. It’s essential out here as you can easily experience

Baby, It’s Cold Out There Next morning I wake up crouched way inside the sleeping bag, feeling very hot. I remember about the two pairs of socks and reach down to remove them. To my surprise my feet are bare. I must have taken them off in my sleep, unless I’d had a visitor! I re-dress hurriedly and make a quick dash over to the latrines. I hope to be the first into the cook tent but of course Fran is before me. She has already prepared our provisions for the journey to the mountains and staying out overnight in

There are two other pilots, Steve King and Greg Stein, who fly the camp’s two Twin Otters and they come over to chat.

In fact one of the Twin Otters needs repairs and servicing so is not in the equation anyhow. Throughout my stay in camp I may joke and talk with Steve and Greg but Max is my main man. He has my polar destiny totally in his hands,

Seeing our impatience Steve suggests a cross-country skiing excursion and Ian and I jump at the chance. Hans and Christian are not keen as they want to sunbathe outside their tent. They are sharing the one tent as they often climb together, it will get them used to the close quarters when they finally get their chance to attempt Vinson. Ann Ward, the camp’s doctor hears about our planned trip and asks to come with us. She’s good company so we are very happy to agree. The skis are kept in a storeroom and when we inspect them they turn
