Motorised sledge passing Inaccessible Island

Motor Engineer Bernard Day and Lieutenant Edward Evans walking alongside a motor sledge pulling three packed wooden sledges. One of the wooden sledges is carrying tins of Shell fuel. Behind the last wooden sledge there is a sledge meter to record the distance travelled. Inaccessible island is visible in the background.

The slide has a crack 2/3rds the way through the image.
