This photo, taken on 6 April 2004, shows the wreck of C-47 43-16062 still virtually complete on the frozen plains of Ellef Ringnes Island, almost 55 years after the crash. Note that this is the only photo that shows the entire aircraft, and proves it is still entirely complete. Even though most of the left wing is covered in drifted snow, its tip can still be seen protruding from it. Photo taken by Nathan Vanderklippe. |
