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

Weather

Generally the weather in the Beardmore Glacier area was good, however, at both field camps we suffered bouts of bad weather. At Granite Pillars we spent four days in the tents due to localised low cloud and snow reducing visibility to less than page 30 100 metres. This seems to be a common occurrence at localities adjacent to the Ross Ice Shelf. In the Miller Range we weathered a short storm with blowing snow and winds of between 40-50 knots with occasional stronger gusts.
