For logistical reasons the geological programme was divided into two phases. The first phase involved visits to ranges and nunataks around Skelton Névé. This was accomplished by using toboggans and sledges and included visits to the Boomerang Range| Warren Range| Portal Mountain| and Mt Mtschel Nunatak. The second phase was carried out by heicopter and took in visits to Table Mountain, Knobhead Mountain, Aztec Mountain, Maya Mountain, Kennar Valley, Mt Fleming, and the western Asgard and Olympus Ranges. For the first phaase the four man geological party was assisted by two members of the Italian Antarctic Expedition. During the second phase the party was reduced to four geologists.
