To make a seismic refraction survey on the summit plateau of Erebus, and find if it is underlain by thick law velocity material capable of causing the previously observed 1.5 second delay to the seismic waves from strombolian explosions in the lava lake.

To continue to record the strombolian explosions seismically and by TV surveillance until the refraction survey is completed.

To remove the VUW–owned TV station, infrasonic microphones and amplifiers, and electromagnetic from the mountain, and the recording equipment from Scott Base, leaving the sites clean and tidy, and pack it up ready for installation at another volcano away from Antarctica.
