THE FUTURE

The successful work of the Koettlitz Expedition work marks virtual completion of geological and glaciological mapping by V.U.W. of the known ice-free areas between the Mackay and Koettlitz Glaciers.

Future Expeditions by members of the University will depend on the existence of suitable areas elsewhere in Antarctica. In the coming summer it is hoped that we will be able to reconnoitre large sections of Victoria Land to help us decide if further operations are feasible and in addition certain specialist personnel from V.U.W. may re-enter the Dry Valley to look briefly into specific minor problems which have emerged during evaluation of results here.
