Weather:

Good weather conditions were experienced throughout the field season with the loss of only half a day due to wind and whiteout conditions. The warm temperatures enabled us to continue working even though it was cloudy for a large proportion of the time with an almost constant wind of up to 20 km/hour from the northeast. The decision of the NZ Meteorological Service not to provide field parties with instruments and a Weather Log Book is regretable as this information takes little time to collect and would be of interest to future field parties.
