Most, if not all, fieldwork in the Antarctic begins with a period of desk-based reconnaissance work. An important source of information are field photos taken at both the scale of the feature of interest and wider panoramas showing context. However, searching for appropriate photos can be a laborious process as many photo archives are inadequately indexed by the photographer.
