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.
