Introductory Note
A full description of the organisation of VUWAE9 is not given in this report, which does not attempt to elaborate on details of the administration and logistics required to mount an Antarctic Expedition from this University. This present report mentions specifically only one recommendation arising from the logistics of VUWAE9. It outlines suggestions for future Antarctic Research from Victoria University.
A. Logistics
(1) | The recommendations of VUWAE6 and VUWAE8 were followed as far as possible and proved to be sound and applicable advice. They are strongly commended to future VUWAEs and can be referred to in the reports of those two expeditions. |
(2) | Recommendation (1) of VUWAE8 - provision of a large moss tent for cooking, eating, equipment maintenance and processing of samples - could not be adopted in practice far look of finance. It is strongly recommended that any future expedition of the size and diversity of VUWAE9 or VUWAE8 be provided with such a tent. The Johnson and Couzins large model Polar Pyramid tent is suggested. |
