The underground pictures and some of the surface pictures were shot using an "instant camera with flash". I was actually pleasantly surprised at the decent quality of most of these pictures. More pictures will be added when I get round to scanning them in -- and if any other expedition members have pictures they want to share, e-mail them to me as reasonable size Jpegs and I'll post them up. Clicking on the thumbnails should bring up an enlargement.  Steve Roberts.
