Reception

The reception was well organised, friendly and efficient. The main issues of transport and time tables were discussed and determined.

Equipment

The equipment requested from Scott Base was supplied in time and fully functional. This included two skidoos, a generator, and a chain saw. The Scott Base staff was very supportive and competent. In addition, equipment has also been requested from McMurdo Station, including, a light weight ice core drilling system from PICO, a generator (with American plug system and voltages), and a snow density kit.

Field training

The field training was helpful and appropriate. The additional crevasse extraction training was appreciated.
