Photographer unknown.
140 x 90 mm. A view of the shore from a ship, possibly 'R.R.S. John Biscoe'. The caption on the reverse of the print continues: 'The glacier we skied up is on the skyline almost in the centre'. This base had been established in 1955. On 13 March Arthur continued his voyage in 'R.R.S. Shackleton', which had joined the FIDS that season. FIDS is an acronym of the 'Falkland Islands Dependency Survey', which was the name of the British Antarctic Survey in its earlier days.
