Three members of the event spent 7 days in Lower Victoria Valley from 14 - 21 Nov and 4 days near the Meserve Glacier in the Wright Valley from 21 - 25 Nov. Ron Sletten joined the event in for 8 days in Beacon Valley (25 Nov – 3 Dec) and 5 days (3 - 8 Dec) in Kennar Valley. All totalled we collected 35 kg of surface sediments and about 40kg of granite. Preliminary mapping of granite clasts in Beacon Valley show they are concentrated in the northeastern part of the valley. There appears to be about 5 different types of granites which can be identified in hand sample. Further results will have to wait for laboratory analysis.
