I do have to thank myself again for giving my husband a slide scanner for Christmas. Here’s another treasure: a picture of him skiing near Palmer Station, taken on 7 December 1997. The glacier he is on is near “Skua Pond”, a popular bathing spot of the local gang of Brown Skuas.
The bit of glacier at the top left of the picture is gone now – it melted away in the course of the Antarctic Peninsula warming, which was already becoming very obvious even around the time the picture was taken and which brings with it significant changes in the area. There is now open water in this very spot.
View of Arthur Harbor from the glacier above Palmer Station on 26 January 2004. The glacier below the dark ridge on the left leads towards Skua Pond. The collapsed area is hidden behind the section of glacier that juts out into Arthur Harbor in the middle of the photo.
wow!
It is, isn’t it? Just around the corner of where I did all my sampling for my PhD project.
Wow. again.
Absolutely stunning!
wow, these are awesome Steffi!
I need to buy on of those slide scanners and see what I can do with my parents’ old photos from the mountains where we went all those years before digital camera
Would you like to answer (in an email if you don’t want to turn this place into commercial) what kind of scanner you use?
There’s an email in your inbox! Sounds like you may have some treasure as well
Thanks a lot!
Technically I guess it’s the treasure of my parents
