Reluctant

When the helicopter came at the end of January to take us back to Scott Base we were reluctant to leave. Our seven weeks had been very enjoyable and most rewarding, but in that time we had not been able to do full justice to the scientific potentialities of the dry-valley block.

Other Universitiy parties will, we hope carry on with the work. Ours was a "try-out" expedition and we are pleased that we were able to justfiy the confidence placed in us by the New Zealand and U.S. authorities, by the University, and by the many New Zealand firms who supported us.
