From the survey point of view| emphasis was to be placed on obtaining reliable fixes in the Beardmore areain order to obtain a good overlap with teh Nothern party on the north western side of the glacier and with the NZ Alpine Club's 1959-1960survey on the south-eastern (the Mt Kyffin) area. In the Liv/Axel Heiberg Galcier region the party aimed to tie in with Byrd's 1929-/30 Expedition map.PersonnelWW HerbertPM Otway (surveyor)VR McGregor (geologist)KP Pain 9field assistant)LocationsMiller GlacierDominion RangeKeltie GlacierHusky DomeDismal ButtressShackleton GlacierLast Chance NunatakMt Fridtjof NanasenAxel Heiberg GlacerLiv GlacierAxel Heiberg GlacierGeolocation[1] Position[2] Position[3] PositionSeason1961-1962
