Additional Description: This view of the station taken by a climber some ways up the LORAN transmitter tower, which was about 1200 feet high. The transmitter building is in the foreground. The black rectangle was the rain catchment basin, the station’s only source of fresh water. You can make out the administrative and barracks wings of the main building just to the left of the catchment basin. Running left to right below the catchment basin is the road that rings the island.
