Title

Automatic Weather Station on Devon Island

Description

A crew of people help to set up an automatic weather station. The landscape around them is rocky and muddy with two large antennae in the midground along with a small structure between them and a bulldozer to the right. There is something on the ground in the foreground smoking with about four figures crowding around it. The rest of the crew is in the midground at various places on the rocky landscape
