Victoria University Antarctic Research Expedition Science and Logistics Reports 1985-86: VUWAE 30

Weather

Detailed weather logs were not kept, but poor weather days are noted in the Itinerary (Appendix I). Generally the weather was cooler and windier than previous seasons at this time of the year and area. This did not stop our work but slowed down the operation of our equipment on some days.

We had hoped to observe glacier melt streams in flow, but these showed no sign of flow by December 6 and would have required at least another week of warm and sunny conditions.
