Sondrestrom AB, Greenland.      Crew member checking on the progress of his water melting operation.  Melted ice provides drinking water.  The orangish hue is caused by the alternating white and international orange panels of the parachute roof.  The whole crew slept in this structure the first night.  The next day it was used as a combination kitchen and dining room.  Caption by Bill Nichols.  (Circa 1959)
