The three man pyramid tent used by Eric Lawther & Tim Pettigrew from 14th November 1972 until 15th April 1973, during their 5 month survey of Annenkov Island. The sledging (food) ration boxes placed on the tent valences helped to ensure stability of the tent in high winds. As the food was consumed and the boxes emptied, they were filled with rock specimens collected during the geological survey. Eric Lawther pictured outside the tent. November 1972.
