Summary:Title from label on verso.; Part of collection: Antarctica, Heard Island.; "L10049"--From label on verso.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3765754. "As LST [3501, a Royal Australian naval vessel] drew inshore the towering, glacier-capped black cliffs of Cape Laurens indicated that the party would find it difficult to locate a landing beach. Commander Dixon made a close survey of coastline for several days before a suitable beach was discovered at the entrance of Atlas Cove, on north-east corner of the island."--Label on verso.
