Passing the Glass Into 2012
It's been an amazing year, 2011. A year full of excitement, and rife with challenge; bubbling with anticipation and adventure while simultaneously stewing with stresses and angst. In those ways, I'd say 2011 was not unlike most years. But, most importantly, 2011 will go into the annals of my life... Continue reading

Ralph, thanks for your comment and the interesting post. I had heard about an old camera and film being discovered in the Arctic, but did not know the details.
Thanks for sharing - it's always been my thought that, if found, the camera would hold many answers.
Thanks again, and have a great day!

Shackleton's Biscuits: A Case for Not Eating Artifacts on Mount Everest
In 2001, high on Everest, I scoured through the tattered remains of the 1933 expedition's Camp VI in the Yellow Band. I had discovered it, thanks to a discarded porter's pack frame, in 1999, and was eager to see what treasures lay inside. As it turned out, it was a literal trove. Within the sh...

Hi Pete,
Definitely well preserved! Same as all the other items I found in that camp, and the others (1924 camp 6, 1938 high camp, etc.). From my experience, everything above 8000 meters stays pretty well preserved. I wasn't aware that people are speculating about the condition of the camera. My hunch is that it'd be in good shape, with big question being, as always, if it was broken or not in a fall.
Hope you are well!
