A stereograph card, which is why the view appears twice -- two lenses an eye-width apart, printed side by side for a viewer that fused them into depth. This is Robert Stein's party wintering at 79 degrees north.
Shows: A scientific expedition's winter quarters, and the format Americans looked at the polar regions through.
What this does not let you conclude: Any measurement, and nothing to do with Colorado. It is here because overwintering to observe was what field science cost before instruments could be left alone. Published by Underwood & Underwood in April 1902; the expedition it shows ran 1899-1900.
