Immediate Report of Victoria University Of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1987-88: VUWAE 32
Preparations for the Field
Preparations for the Field
i) | The briefings by the OIC and DOIC were outstanding. Already a good liaison with NSF Rep existed, and no contact was necessary by me. |
ii) | All the equipment requested from Ant Div was available and in good condition, except that the Generator (tested by Steve at S.B.) would not run. |
iii) | Survival training was combined with "shakedown", and enabled the 'first timers' Terry and Susan to cope well with conditions on Erebus. |
iv) | There were no significant delays. |
