Hi – the last sunrise at Scott Base was mid April and they don’t expect to see another until about mid August so the team will be pretty much in 24 hour darkness until then. As for the books unfortunately the image we have isn’t large enough to blow up and read the titles. As for the photographs, we have one of the images from Scott’s den here in Christchurch where it has recently been conserved - it is an image of his wife Kathleen.

You mention the “approach of darkness.” How many days/months of no sun do you experience at Scott Base. And Another question: Has anyone identified the photos clearly visible in the Ponting pic of Scott at his desk? How about the titles of the books?
