Personnel:

This season it was decided to send a six man expedition so that it could operate as three two-man parties in the field. The personnel were:
  • I.A.G. Willis, Temporary Junior Lecturer, Geology Department, V.U.W. (Leader).
  • Dr. C.C. Rich, Professor in Geology, Bowling Green State University, Ohio, U.S.A. (Deputy Leader).
  • T.R. Haskell, Senior Geology Student, V.U.W.
  • J.P. Kennett, Senior Geology Student, V.U.W.
  • W.M. Prebble, Senior Geology Student, V.U.W.
  • G.J. Smith, Senior Geology Student, V.U.W.

The personnel formed two distinct teams; one geological (I.W., T.H., J.K., W.P.), this team operating as two-man parties, and one glaciological (Dr. Rich and Mr. Smith).

As a safety factor and for a greater "social life", the parties camped together whenever possible, and where this was not possible contacted each other daily by radio.
