All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

    Description

    In May 2018 David Luders provided the Australian Antarctic Data Centre with information, annotated maps and a cable message relating to traverses from Mawson to Enderby Land, 1974-75.
    David Luders was Officer in Charge (OIC) at Casey in 1972 and at Mawson in 1974.
    The information includes:
    (i) reasons for the choice of route between Mt Twintop and Knuckey Peaks; and
    (ii) the suggestion that Mt King would be a better location for a base in Enderby Land than Knuckey Peaks.
    In December 2018 David also provided an article he wrote: 'INTO THE WHITE, Mawson to Enderby Land, 1974'.

    The following are available for download:
    (i) a document with the information;
    (ii) scans of the annotated maps and a cable message referred to in the document; and
    (iii) the article.
