A series of traverses were carried out from Casey over Law Dome and Wilkes Land in 1987. Information recorded in log books include: * barometric levelling * snow accumulation * temperature * general air pressure * ice core drilling notes * ice core borehole temperatures * snow surface observations * gravity A number of trace charts were made as the traverse was carried out, recording these values in real time. Physical copies of these documents have been stored in the Australian Antarctic Division records store.
