A number of the requested survey tasks were not performed for a variety of reasons. The tide gauge at Davis was not calibrated as the sea ice was gone on arrival to station making it difficult to setup a GPS over the water.

Observation of ground control features, using GPS, at deep field location was not performed due to time constraints and weight limits on aircraft preventing the transport of personnel and equipment.
