Food

As for the last two years expeditions, VUWAE 19 worked on a man day basis and were charged a flat rate irrespective of whether in the field or at Scott Base. However as in the past VUWAE purchased food to supplement the food boxes, as usually there is not enough canned fruit, fresh meat etc. at Scott Base for field party use. It must be stated, however, that the Erebus expedition was adequately supplied with supplementary food from both Scott Base and McMurdo station. At such altitudes good food is extremely necessary.
