Dr. Campbell’s published account of the Flint Island voyage declares that “camp-life was wholly devoid of unpleasantness” and that there was time for some amusements, including a moonlit turtle hunt.plain2016-06-04T13:40:42-07:00Alex Moore6cd84a9f7efd71803c15562e48a509db9e0bb5a6

Mrs Campbell's album from the trip contains multiple photos of the party members happily looking at large turtles strung up on poles or laid out on a tram car, and one particularly striking image of Mrs Campbell sitting atop of a turtle that is tied to a tree. The climate, topography, and ecology of each location could be either an interesting addendum or a problem to be overcome, but were not of primary interest to the astronomers. These images suggest that, while the astronomers took pleasure in observing the natural world, they saw themselves as dominant over and separate from other animals.
