A sketch of "Discovery in Winter Quarters, after the second blizzard"

Lantern slide of a sketch of watercolour, ink, and chalk depicting two men strugging through a blizzard back to the Discovery in the ice. The crew are following a line of posts and ropes created to allow the crew to exercise and get back to the ship if there is a whiteout. The tower of the broken windmill is visible on the forward deck.

A similar sketch can be found in the August edition of the 'South Polar Times'.

The slide is cracked.
