Thanks for sharing!

Bushwalkers fashion still hasn't changed much...
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Nice to see old photos. The first one looks more like Horizontal Hill, the Guardians and Gould taken from south east of these peaks. The distant peak between Horizontal Hill and the Guardians is probably Nereus.
