User:Yomangani/The Courteous Identification of the Dogs in the Ice Clime

Very interesting photo
If these are the second season dogs then it is probably all the second season dogs as there are 13 in the picture. (No Hoyle as he would have been too young). Compare the descriptions from 1st and 2nd seasons to see if they can be ruled in or out by the number of each colouring. Photo is taken by Mawson and he records taking photos of the second season dogs at lunch (not to say he didn't take any in the first season but he does seem to have left the photo taking to others until 1913)

Amundsen or Switzerland
The black and white dog in all these is Zip.

Probably Zip
Zip has a ridiculous amount of photos and here are some more:

The Amundsen/Amundsen/Colonel debate
Hurley could have taken a picture of Colonel or Amundsen at main base when Aurora arrived or when he returned to pick up the 1913 season party. The catalogue title apparently came from Mawson's titles on the pictures. Amundsen described as "Slim, yellow-gray, wolﬁsh-looking; perhaps the prettiest of the second-year dogs", Colonel as "White, wooly-haired, and biggest of Amundsen dogs". Amundsen was given to Madigan's sister Mollie and is recorded as dying in 1920, so there may be more records or photos of him.

Hurley could also have taken a picture of the other Amundsen at the western base when he went with Aurora to relieve them, but the dog is pictured on rocks and another blurry dark dog is just visible in the background so this is unlikely as there were no rocks around WB and no dark dogs were still alive when Hurley arrived. The "Sledge dog in harness" photo is taken from a different angle and shows another dark dog in the background, so it is impossible to be the Amundsen from the western base.

Hurley is probably more trustworthy on the identification as Mawson would be looking at the picture among hundreds months later.
