Summary: | The ten-man summer field party of the 29th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-29) carried out geological, geomorphological and geodetic field work and a meteorite search in the Sør Rondane Mountains, mainly east of Byrdbreen (71°40'-72°15'S, 26°30'-28°E) from January 6 to February 3,1988 (29 days). In addition, on December 21 and 22,1987,two surveyors from our party took aerophotographs in the eastern and central parts of the mountains, using a "Pilatus Porter" plane. Being favored by good weather and no serious accident, we were able to complete most of the work that we had planned. This paper is a description of the field operation including logistics and a brief report on the geological, geomorphological and geodetic field work, meteorite search and aerophotography. |
