From the summit of East Beacon, Southern Victoria Land,
Antarctica: Professor Whittington is investigating the flow
directions of intruding dolerite sheet intrusions in the Jurassic
Ferrar Igneous Province. Glaciers have carved excellent
exposures of these sills, with several thousand feet of relief.
One of the helicopters that took us to and from some of the
more distant outcrops, taking off from our camp in the
appropriately named "Windy Gully". (This helicopter crashed
rather badly two days later.)
