Report on the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1960-61: VUWAE 4

Survey

Survey

As with earlier V.U.W.A.E, it was intended that a survey with theodolite be carried out but the day before departure the survey party, Wheeler and Bull, learned that a survey was not needed because other personnel were planning to cover with control points (for aerial photographic coverage) the whole area between the Miller Glacier and Skelton Glacier. It has been found subsequently that the Koettlitz area was not included in this survey (nor aerial photographed) and the survey team (Bull and Wheeler) and the geologists doing a topographic plot for the geological map (Willis and Cooper) were disappointed.
