Thanks Swampsniper.
At the source article, there is a link to a short gallery of the photos they recovered. Most are photos of snow, the sea, and a few headlands. A couple photos with explorers on them.
I suppose you could compare them to photos taken by the Martian rovers of bleak Martian landscapes. They have value to people who understand what they are looking at or know how to objectively assess the imagery to learn things about the location that aren’t readily apparent. Such as how the snow drifts or the ice packs or the types of clouds, their coverage, and altitude. The shape and size of the visible headlands. The state of the sea at the time the photo was taken. Stuff like that was/is important to scientists of one stripe or another.
