Victoria University Antarctic Research Expedition Science and Logistics Reports 1978-79: VUWAE 23

Event 12a

Event 12a

Taylor, Wright Upper and Victoria Upper Glaciers were the main areas visited. Field work was restricted to areas within walking distance of the main camp. Camps at Taylor and Victoria Upper Glaciers were established on the true right deltas entering Lakes Bonney and Victoria respectively. Good campsites around Wright Upper Glacier were limited; helicopter landing sites being the main difficulty. A site, central glacier, on the snow apron was found to be the most suitable. Two additional areas (Lake Vanda to Bulls Pass and Sykes Glacier) were worked as a result of overestimate of time required in the main areas.
