Originalt s/h vintage foto, gelatine silver, fra november 1955 taget af den amerikanske hær.
Billedet viser en amerikansk soldat fra ingeniørtropperne, USACE, der tjekker tykkelsen af isen i den grønlandske undergrund. En viden som USA bl.a. fik brug for ved konstruktionen af gange i den underjordiske by Camp Century, der blev bygget få år senere nord for Thulebasen / Pituffik, samt under project Iceworm, der handlede om at konstruere et net af jernbanetunneller under indlandsisen, der skulle huse mere end 600 atommissiler.
Teksten på billedet lyder:
"File Number, SC 446064 Army engineers study construction of arctic "subways"
Snow falls on the Greenland icecap at approximately two or three feet a year and never melts. Each layer is discernible and the army corps of engineers has measured snow falls back to the year 1916. As it packs harder its density becomes an important factor in anticipating the success of sub-surface tunnels and structures. This engineer is using a special instrument to measure density.

Mid Century Modern and antique interior decoration art are the focus of Quirky Sundays’ Antique & Vintage shop. Our business are dealing with antique and vintage interior design for a warm, eclectic and fun home with a Scandinavian accent.
We are always on the search for wonderful decorative art, e.g. glass, pottery, vases and vessels, lighting, wood, metal, flat-weave rugs and other items that can form a bridge to the people we once were. A home looks great with new furniture and decoration, but to add character and true style in our opinion you also need some things that relates to our cultural background and past.
Our focus expands from the 19th to the 20th century and we aim to make our costumers travel in time through antique and vintage things that our predecessors produced, possessed, cared for and cherised . We focus on the reuse of fantastic decorative art, which are hand made with great craft, artistic inspiration and love.
