Acknowledgements

The expedition was made possible by financial and other assistance from several organizations and individuals, to all of whom we are extremely grateful. The University Grants Committee and Victoria University of Wellington provided financial assistance. The United States authorities provided transport to and from New Zealand and within South Victoria Land.

The Antarctic Division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research arranged our transport and provided accommodation while we were at Scott Base.

We would specially like to thank Professor Clark, Geology Department, for his help and continued interest in the University Antarctic Expeditions.

As with previous expeditions, the greatest possible help and co-operation was forthcoming from the Leader and staff at Scott Base. We would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Colin Clark and his colleagues very warmly.
