EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1906, three intrepid surveyors are seen atop Mount Leone, meticulously conducting a tunnel survey using a theodolite. The mountainous terrain, with its rugged cliffs and towering peaks, provides a striking backdrop to their scientific endeavor. Dressed in heavy coats and hats, the surveyors are fully committed to their task, their expressions focused and determined. One surveyor holds the large theodolite, an intricate instrument used to measure angles and distances, while another adjusts the level and takes notes. A third surveyor, shielding herself from the sun with a parasol, observes the terrain through a pair of binoculars. The surveyors' equipment is spread out around them, including a cairn, which marks the starting point of their survey, and various other measuring tools. The act of tunnel surveying in such a dangerous and remote location required great courage and perseverance. The surveyors had to navigate treacherous terrain, endure harsh weather conditions, and work at heights to accurately measure the angles and distances necessary for constructing a safe and effective tunnel. Their dedication to their work was essential for ensuring the success of the tunnel project and the safety of those who would use it in the future. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the early 20th century surveyors, who braved the elements and the dangers of the terrain to advance scientific knowledge and build the infrastructure that would shape the world around us.
