Typed information accompanying negative: T-3 camp August 1969: By August, the weather was growing colder. Lakes were freezing over. Note: T-3 Photographs - Roll H B&W negatives – July-August 1969 This roll documents the results of one atypical lowering of the USGS equipment and miscellaneous camp activities in late July and August 1969. (Photos on Roll H taken by Dave Scoboria)
Typed information accompanying negative: The C-130 paradrop of the second load of supplies. This drop was also on target. Note: T-3 Photographs - Roll F B&W negatives - June paradrop, 1969. There were three paradrops during the summer of 1969 performed by Navy C-130 planes from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. These are described in this website, http://www.firebirds.org/menu2/t3/t3_p02.htm On the receiving end of the paradrops on T-3, these days were the high points of the summer season. This roll documents the first paradrop, which occurred in late June on a cloudy day. The loads were delivered on target to the camp runway without mishap. The second paradrop was similar, one month later. The...
C-130 plane taking off to return to Barrow, Alaska. T-3 (Fletcher's) Ice Island, Arctic Ocean. 1969.
Typed information accompanying photograph: Print only. C-130 plane taking off to return to Barrow. Note: These photos were taken during February and March of 1969 and developed into Ektachrome slides in May of 1969. Some have deteroriated. When the slides were new some of them were printed as color prints. Some prints don't have matching slides. A few slides were copied as Kodacolor slides some time during the 1970s and there are some duplicate slides. The Kodacolor slides have not deteriorated. Some images are missing.

Typed information accompanying photograph: T-3 camp in April 1969, taken from the top of the Lamont hydrohut tower. The USGS living trailer is the closest trailer on the left side. The cook hut and lunchroom is the large yellow building on the back right. Smoke can be seen emerging from the generator building on the right. The generator ran continually and could be heard everywhere in camp. Note: T-3 Photographs - Roll B - Color slides February - April 1969. These photos were developed into Ektachrome slides in May of 1969. Some have deteriorated. Some were printed as color prints and these may be in better condition than the slides. A few slides were copied into Kodacolor slides. Some images are missing. (Photos...
Typed information accompanying negative: The USGS living trailer: The trailer had bunk beds at one end, with space for four residents. The other end contained a small darkroom. It was a comfortable place to live. The space equipment cannister is on the floor in the foreground of the picture. After the probe was lost, I had hopes of assembling a complete package of equipment and resuming the casts. There was a spare probe and equipment cannister, but I could not locate a recording device sensitive enough to record thermistor readings. This attempt to reconstruct the assembly lasted approximately two weeks before I realized that it would not be possible with the equipment on T-3. In retrospect, if I had made a radio...
Typed information accompanying negative: Looking out the window of one of the trailers. There were a group of college students working on T-3 in the summer of 1969, including the crews from Lamont, Univ. of Alaska, and U of W. This group tended to socialize together. Note: T-3 Photographs - Roll G B&W negatives – July 4,1969 This roll of photographs was mostly taken on July 4, 1969. There was a camp get together and celebration that day. There was no alcohol on T-3 at that point. Bob Sutton chose an abandoned hut to burn and that event was the high point of the day. (Photos on Roll G taken by Dave Scoboria)
Typed information accompanying slide: The hydrohut and camp in the twilight. Similar to D-11 and D-13. Links to these photographs are listed below under Web Links.

Typed information accompanying slides: Dave Scoboria, USGS field employee. Dave worked on T-3 from November 13, 1968 through May 1, 1969, then from June 1, 1969 through October 3, 1969. Dave Scoboria's bio: Dave grew up in rural Pennsylvania, and as a boy he dreamed of going to the Arctic. After graduation from high school in 1968, he lived for eleven months on Fletcher's Ice Island (T-3), a floating research station in the central Arctic Ocean, where he worked as a field technician for the US Geological Survey. He later attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, picked fruit for a living for several years and graduated in 1976 with a BA from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. He worked for...

Scoboria, D. Collection,
The T-3 (Fletcher's) Ice Island in the Arctic Ocean was the site of a scientific research station re-established by the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory starting in 1962. Starting in 1963, the USGS acquired marine heat flow data and coincident sediment cores at sites in Canada Basin, Nautilus Basin, Mendeleev Ridge, and Alpha Ridge as the ice island drifted in the Amerasian Basin. At least 584 heat flow penetrations were attempted, and data were reported at 356 of these. This dataset is the digital version of the original data table from Lachenbruch and others (2019; see cross-reference), retaining the original non-SI units for thermal conductivity and heat flow. Reference cited: Lachenbruch, A.H., Marshall, B.V.,...

Typed information accompanying slide: Hydrohuts and ice lake. Stu with a packing crate boat. Stu worked for either University of Washington or University of Alaska in 1969.

Typed information accompanying negative: Third load: The third load was similar to the first two and the parachutes landed on target on the runway. For most of the crew, these paradrops were the only contact with the outside world for four months.
