VUWAE 17A
VUWAE 17A
- Reconnaissance mapping and sampling of McMurdo Volcanics at:
- Cape Evans
- Dellbridge Islands
- Turks Head and Tryggve Point
- Cape Royds
- Mt. Erebus
- Mt. Melbourne
- Lyons (1973) has summarized the work at Mt. Melbourne and Mt. Erebus.
- Detailed geological mapping of Rainbow Ridge, Brown Peninsula.
- Visits to the summit of Mt. Erebus in January 1972 (Askin et al., 1972); December 1972 to January 1973; and February 1973 has helped in gaining an understanding of the present volcanic activity of Mt. Erebus.
- A detailed report (Kyle and Treves, 1973; Treves and Kyle, 1973) on DVDP holes 1 and 2 is in preparation.
