From memory this plane was damaged and the wings were removed and it was then used as a tractor?

Yes - that is the case - although I think Bickerton still had a lot of trouble keeping it going on the few days they were able to test it.

Pioneering times...

Could this photograph have been an inspiration for the Penguins in the film Madagascar?

To think how tough some people would find to do this now with modern clothes and photographic equipment.

Awesome photography.

The Mertz glacier was discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Xavier Mertz, a member of the expedition who lost his life on January 7, 1913, on the far-east sledge journey. Mertz's body likely remains in the glacier that bears his name, a few miles closer to the Southern Ocean than when he was buried in the ice by Mawson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mertz_Glacier
