The Sør Rondane field party as part of the summer party of the 31st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-31) carried out geological, biological and geodetic fieldwork in the whole area of the Sør Rondane Mountains for 38 days from December 25,1989 to January 31,1990. This fieldwork was conducted with the support of helicopter flights which were operated by the expedition members of JARE for the first time. Therefore, this paper describes the details of the operation planning and a summary of the fieldwork including logistics and weather report. The results of geological, biological and geodetic investigations will be described in separate papers.
