Event 11c was not supplied with meteorological instruments although records of the weather conditions in Pearse were made visually and with the use of a soil thermometer. These observations were relayed to Scott Base on the morning and evening radio scheds. and are summarised in Appendix III.

Event 11c experienced excellent weather conditioning during their stay (Dec. 8 - 13) in Pearse Valley. The wind was never greater than 25 knots and temperatures were warm enough to melt surface ice of Sigrid Pond.
