SCOTT BASE WATER SUPPLY.—With the use of a chain-saw, pneumatic drill, crow bars, and axes blocks of ice are cut from a quarry and fed into the three ice melters that provide the water supply. Usually the blocks weigh up to 70lb and four-and-a-half tons are loaded on to sledges. Mr N. Dewson (Auckland) is shown breaking the ice chunks away. The other picture shows Mr T. McGeough (Auckland) doing his washing with water from melted ice. — Photographs by A. C. Bibby, Antarctic Division. D.S.I.R.
