Immediate report of Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1989-90: VUWAE 34
Planning
Planning
Pre-season planning progressed smoothly and problems were identified. With the exception of an unfortunate incident caused we suspect by a personality clash and a degree of scientific protectionism on behalf of a third party, preparations for field went extremely well. The problem with our planned visit to Escalade Peak and the Boomerang Range was not raised until after our arrival at Scott Base. If it really existed, the problem should have been raised at Tekapo.
