Comments

The longest, most comprehensive journey that ANARE had yet accomplished in Antarctic waters. This voyage explored almost the entire coast of AAT and Terre Adelie, visiting Mirny, Dumont d'Urville, Heard Island and Iles Kerguelen. Antarctica's first continuous automatic weather station was erected and deployed on Lewis. A landing was made at the Larsemann Hills on 7 Feb. Aerial reconnaissance continued. It was noted that the ice and snow cover on Heard Island were far less than previously observed.
