22nd - 26th November (5):

Proceeded North across the Black Glacier to the mouth of the Leap Year Glacier then up the Leap Year to our Fuel and Food Depot. Very soft snow made the going extremely difficult. Once again 2 man parties made side trips to either side of Leap Year and across the Black to the King Range. Side trips were made from the depot across the Explorers Range to Sledges Glacier and via the Champness Glacier to the Lillie Glacier.
