Lower Victoria Valley (13 Nov – 1 Dec)
- Sample ice in modern glacial and lake environments at snout of Lower Victoria Glacier. Sample buried ice and ice cemented sediment down valley (stream) from Lower Victoria Glacier.
- Sample several soil profiles for Atm Be-10 on top of buried ice, down valley from Lower Vic Glacier.
- Survey profiles of meltwater channels around the Packard Glacier for a paper by Atkins and Dickinson entitled 'Landscape modification by meltwater channels at margins of cold-based glaciers'.
- Testing of resistivity soundings/profiling over known occurrences of ground ice (both massive and ice cemented sediment).
