  • Original Narrative: Sir Vivian Fuchs, leader of the Expedition, affirms in the book the accuracy of the colour rendering in the photographs taken in Antarctica, from which the six examples reproduced here have been selected. They were taken in sub-zero temperatures on Kodachrome (Kodak Limited), using Leica cameras, and Wratten U.V., L.A. filter. The first (page 1 of this inset) of the Sno-cat ‘Rock ’n’ Roll’ encountering the first crevasse is by Mr George Lowe, O.B.E., chief photographer with the Expedition. A New Zealander, he was with the successful Everest Expedition, and established the last depot for Sir Edmund Hillary. The other five photographs were taken by Dr Jon Stephenson, an Australian geologist with the Expedition; they are (from top to bottom of each page, in page order): the Magga Dan unloading at Shackleton; Mt Erebus (13,280 ft) from near Scott Base with Castle Rock in the middle distance; wireless operator Taffy Williams with the dog team in the Shackleton Range; late evening in the Whichaways; and vehicles passing the western end of the Shackleton Range towards Recovery Glacier. Caption material by Miss Susan Fuller, photo librarian.
