860-292900 - Technicians loading/unloading cargo/freight from the supply plane at Concordia. French;in blue) and Italian;in red) technicians help unload the Basler - Douglas DC3, which delivers scientific and/or technical equipment to the Concordia station several times a month during the summer. It takes a team of 6 to 20 people just 3 minutes to unload the 2 tonnes of cargo, reload the same amount of equipment into the plane and refuel the aircraft with kerosene. As soon as these operations are completed, the plane is ready to leave again. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.
860-292899 - Building made of containers lined up in a row, powered by pipes and electric cables. The summer camp is made up of containers assembled together. It was built in the early 1990s.

860-292898 - Snowdrift in front of a tent. A dormitory tent dating from the 1990s and still in use. It is heated by a small oil-fired stove.

860-292882 - A German BGR helicopter used in Terre Victoria to transport geologists to specific research points. These are one-off scientific programs, involving the collaboration of several countries, in this case Germany and Italy. The Germans set up a base camp several dozen kilometers from the Italian Mario Zucchelli station, using Italian logistical resources such as the Laura Bassi icebreaker to transport the helicopter, the equipment needed to set up the base camp, scientific equipment and, of course, personnel. All of this was delivered to the Mario Zucchelli station for onward transport by helicopter to the search site. Victoria Land, Antarctica

860-292880 - The expeditionaries bound for Cap Prud'Homme and Dumont d'Urville, in front of the Basler that will take them there. It's worth noting that some of them are wearing the blue garment normally worn for Concordia: this is because it's warmer and contains more down, which is no luxury at the start of the summer season. A matter of habit and personal preference. The buildings of the Mario Zucchelli base can be seen in the background. Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land, Antarctica
