It was about 10 kilometers (6 miles) inland from the coast up to the plateau where Campo Noruego was to be established.

The carts were brought along from Norway.

Paul Bruun was captain of the Manuel J. Cobos for about 18 months before he started trading with the Norge. The island community was dependent on the old schooner to obtain provisions from the continent. Delays and fuel shortages proved fatal for Bruun, her former skipper. When this photo was taken in 1934, the schooner had been re-named San Cristóbal.

The photograph was taken in 1933 and was sent to friends Ruth and Alf Ødegård who, at that time, were back in Norway.
