Victoria University Antarctic Research Expedition Science and Logistics Reports 2004-05: VUWAE 49

Summary

Summary

The four members of the event spent 17 days in Lower Victoria Valley from 13 Nov to 1 Dec and 9 days in central Beacon Valley from 1 Dec to 10 Dec. Ice and permafrost samples (Table 1), resistivity soundings, and topographic profiles were completed in both of these areas. Resistivity soundings may be useful in imaging subsurface ice in Beacon Valley. However, variable conditions (thawing) on the surface of the Lower Victoria Valley caused unstable resistivity readings and these yielded ambiguous results in this area.
