Report on the Eleventh Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1966-67: VUWAE 11
Background
Background
On the 1966 operation, difficulty was experienced in driving the probe into the gravel bottom encountered in McMurdo Sound. The sites tried were close to C. Armitage and strong sea currents were found. It is felt that further out in the sound conditions are likely to be more favourable. The measuring equipment itself worked well and apart from reducing the physical diameter of the probe head, no changes are required.
| Support required: | Transport to the Wright and Taylor Valleys; A tractor, Wan nagon and sledge for operating on the sea ice. |
Dr. Wright hopes to visit the Boomerang Range. This is the subject of a separate memorandum and is not discussed here.
Yours faithfully,
