The above photos were taken on 21 September, as the temperature hovered at -100°F. Lots of cold fingers and cameras! The top photo was scanned from the original at Pole, October 2005 (larger file, 424k) (larger formats available). This was the film version of the photo. Unfortunately the brass caption plate in the frame wouldn't scan or photograph well. The lower digital photo was taken by Greg Griffin. Other items on this page are thanks to Gene Davidson, Darryn Schneider, and Robert Thompson...
