EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to January 1971 at Chessington Zoo. The image captures the dedicated keepers as they embark on a daring mission to chip away the ice covering the storks and ducks pond. Aptly named "Operation Ice Break" these two intrepid zookeepers refuse to let the big freeze hinder their beloved animals' well-being. With determination etched on their faces, the keepers unleash their secret weapon - a fairground paddleboat. As they navigate through icy waters, it becomes evident that these individuals possess an unwavering commitment to their furry and feathery friends. The scene is reminiscent of an extreme adventure, with freezing temperatures and treacherous conditions posing challenges at every turn. Yet, undeterred by nature's obstacles, these brave souls forge ahead in their quest to ensure the comfort and safety of Chessington Zoo's inhabitants. This photograph not only showcases the resilience of zookeepers but also highlights our deep connection with animals. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of adversity, human compassion prevails. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come in our efforts to protect and care for wildlife. And while technology has undoubtedly advanced since then, one thing remains unchanged - our enduring dedication towards creating a harmonious coexistence between humans and animals alike.
