| Building the ACB [Now known as the Laws Building]. The buildings were constructed before the platform was jacked to its normal height as the Nodwell cranes would not have had
sufficient reach to put the roofing on. |

| Moving PACE [Now known as SHARE]. A lot of bulldozing was done to try and dig out as much of the buried masts as possible. Jim Condor is the figure in the centre of the

| Excavating the voids. The tube that was supposed to protect the building at Z4 had long since collapsed by the time I got there. It was an ongoing
task to excavate the roof above the building as the roof was continually pushing down due to the weight of the ice above. |

| Geoff Bailey playing golf. He didn’t play long. The problem was not that he lost the ball, but that it shattered when he hit it, due to the cold. |

| Geoff Bailey under ACB. The wind that was channelled under the building picked up any snow that had fallen and created a polished ice surface.
During storms the wind was especially strong and it was very difficult to stand up. |

| Alan Russell in the garage. This gives some idea of the length of the ramp down to the garage. From the surface there was no indication that it just

| Weatherhaven 1990 (January). There were two weatherhavens when I arrived situated about 1 km from Z5. One was used for sleeping and the other for eating.
The reason for the distance from the construction site was to prevent noise reaching those sleeping.

| Weatherhaven 1990 (November). The amount of snow accumulation can be seen by comparing the weatherhaven a winter later.

| Weatherhaven 1990 (November). As can be seen one of the weatherhavens didn’t survive
the winter and sleeping and eating had to take place in the one surviving tent.
