7 MANAGEMENT OF SCIENCE IN THE ROSS DEPENDENCY

The planning and execution of the support for our research was the best we have yet experienced. We were particularly pleased to be able to get out onto the sea ice within 4 days of our arrival at Scott Base, which permitted us to get the very early measurements that were of special importance. The campsite facilities, particularly the living and laboratory wannigans NZ3 and NZ8, were excellent and contributed to the success and efficiency of the entire programme.
