Victoria University Antarctic Research Expedition Science and Logistics Reports 1999-2000: VUWAE 44

Allan Hills 1999/2000 Events log for P. Holme

Allan Hills 1999/2000 Events log for P. Holme

Note: event diaries for other event members were not available at this time. Every night, all event members stayed at the Main Camp except where noted. No icefalls or crevasse fields were encountered because our event was based on a nunatak and our research was geological so we travelled on rock almost the whole time.
