Further Planning

In mid-June a revised itinerary, a list of major requirements and a table of flight requirements, destinations and cargo weights were submitted to Antarctic Division (Appendix I).

A change in the commencement date for drilling of the DVDP McMurdo drill hole allowed Kyle to change his programme, enabling him to Join Dr, G. Lyon (Institute of Nuclear Sciences, D.S.I.R.) on the proposed Mts. Melbourne and Erebus volcanological studies. This plus other minor changes were implemented following discussion between Kyle and Peter Frazer, Officer in Charge, Scott Base.
