Cargo

Because of unforeseen circumstances, it was deemed necessary by the Event Leader that collected geologic specimen (rock samples) should be immediately returned to New Zealand so that analyses could begin without delay. A request was made to the SENZREP, who informed the Base Manager and 50 kg were allocated for the flight back to Christchurch. Luckily, Air New Zealand was just as accommodating and the samples made it to Wellington without a problem.
