Food

As for the last four years' expeditions, VUWAE 21 worked on a man day basis and were charged a flat rate ($20 per person per week), irrespective of whether the personnel were in the field or at Scott Base. (This flat rate also covers other consumables such as petrol, oil, and kerosene, and includes the use of Antarctic Division toboggans, tents, etc.). As in the past VUWAE purchased fresh meat and canned fruit to supplement the food boxes.
