Field programme
For logistic reasons the geological programme was divided into two phases. The first phase involved visits to ranges and nunataks around the Skelton Névé. This was accomplished by using toboggans and sledges and included visits to Boomerang Range, Warren Range, Portal Mountain and Mt Metschel nunatak. The second phase was carried out by helicopter and took in visits to Table Mountain, Knobhead Mountain, Aztec Mountain, Maya Mountain, Kennar Valley, Mt Fleming, and the western Asgaard and Olympus Ranges. For the first phase the four man geological party was assisted by two members of the Italian Antarctic Expedition. During the second phase the party was reduced to the four geologists.
