The 2006/07 field season comprised objectives at Whitehall Glacier (WHG), Mt Erebus Saddle (MES), Windless Bight (WB), Victoria Lower Glacier (VLG), and Evans Piedmont Glacier (EPG). Malta Plateau was an alternative site to Whitehall Glacier. However, we found excellent conditions for ice core drilling at WHG and therefore did not visit Malta Plateau.
