SUMMARY OF TIME SPENT IN ANTARCTICA
The members of VUWAE 15 spent some 603 man-days in Antarctica. The division of time on a percent basis is as follows:-
| Transit to and from Antarctica | 3 |
| Spent at Scott Base | 15 |
| Spent on Geology | 37 |
| Spent on ground (toboggan and manhauling) shifts | 16 |
| Spent on air (Hercules and helicopter) shifts | 6 |
| Days lost (bad weather, toboggan repairs, delayed planes and helicopters) | 23 |
| 100 |
Of the 495 man-days spent in the field about 45 percent of our time was spent on geological work, 19 percent on ground shifts, 28 percent of time was days lost and 7 percent was spent on air shifts. Time spent on geology in dry valley areas amounted to 71 percent, compared with 43 percent on tobogganning trips and 30 percent on a manhauling trip.
