Ponting has been busy taking color photographs of the glorious sunsets but is disappointed with the results; the plates are all spotted. Wilson, meanwhile, has been hard at work with his brush. Everyone is extraordinarily busy; the scientists are preparing their equipment; Oates is working on pony stalls; Evans is out surveying. Cherry is building a stone house for taxidermy with a view to getting hints for making a shelter at Cape Crozier during the winter.
I hope he's able to figure out a way to do it. They'd be in a pickle without shelter in that Godawful place in the dark.
