Equipment

Equipment

Many items were already available in the VUWAE stores both at the University and Scott Base. They included packs, kitbags, ice-axes, sleeping bags, windproof clothing, mukluks and kitchen gear.

Antarctic Division provided polar tents, radio transceivers, rope and first aid kits, and clothed DSIR personnel working with VUWAE. The Geology Department provided miscellaneous scientific equipment supplementing that already owned by VUWAE and VUWAE members. New items of scientific equipment purchased were an instrument for measuring sonic velocity, and two precision surveying altimeters.
