Report on the Sixth and Seventh Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1962-63: VUWAE 6 & 7

INTRODUCTION:

INTRODUCTION:

As a guest of the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition, 1962-3, the writer made a series of measurements of the acceleration due to gravity along the Taylor Valley, south Victoria Land, between McMurdo Sound and the terminus of the Taylor Glacier.

The limited value of gravity measurements along a single line is appreciated, but these measurements add to the regional gravity coverage of the area, a significate part of which has been made by earlier Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expeditions (1959-9 in the Wright Valley and 1960-1 in the area north of the Koettlitz Glacier.)
