Researchers will occupy the Lake Hoare camp from late November to the end of January, making day trips to the Commonwealth, Howard, Canada, and Taylor glaciers to conduct mass balance measurements and biological studies. Day trips will also be made to various meteorological stations in Taylor, Beacon, Wright, Victoria, and Garwood Valleys. Several sensors and dataloggers on the meteorological stations will be swapped out and sent back to the manufacturer for recalibration as in previous seasons. The replacement meteorological sensors and dataloggers will remain in the field for two to five years.
