Sondrestrom AB, Greenland. Bill Nichols standing by a sign
post. Behind him is a bamboo
frame supporting an insect net.
Scientists have erected these all about the McMurdo Base. They are attempting to catch any
insects that might be in the area.
So far, none have been discovered. Mt. Discovery is seen in the distance. Names by Scott. The wind blows constantly in
Antarctica. The strongest
sustained winds in the world have been recorded here. Caption by Bill
Nichols. (Circa 1959) |
