Good pics there geoff. Dont know but there might be some historical group that might want a copy of them. Especially being over 60 years old.

I wonder if the hut is still there

Fairly sure. It's part ways away from the new monstrosity but still there.
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.
