We picked up a second plane for our attempt on the pole. The plane on the right was waiting for us at Camp Opal. You can see the fuel drums in front of the second plane and the expedition members in front of the first plane. Van is in the foreground at the left getting ready to take some more pictures. There were 2 other camps associated with Opal, Crystal and Ruby, that were part of the expedition that would continue to operate for another couple of weeks.
