Clearing snow on Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District, UK.


Charlie Middleton, an employee of cumbria vounty council clears snow from the blocked Kirkstone Pass, the highest mountain pass in the Lake District. Last year Charlie spent a season down in Antarctica, driving buldozers for the British Antarctic Survey. As Charlie says, I didn't expect to come back from Antarctica to have to deal with similar conditions at home.
