McMurdo NAS, Antarctica.  Bill Nichol's petting the sled dogs of the New Zealanders exploration team.  They are tethered in front of the New Zealand base--Scott base.  These are the same dogs mentioned in Dr. Vivian Fuch's and Sir Edmund Hillary's book entitled "The Crossing of Antarctica," which was published recently and is well worth reading.  Caption by Bill Nichols  (Circa 1959)
