Full description

Ice sheet surface elevation data from an oversnow ground-based traverse to Knuckey Peaks (67.90 S, 53.53 E) from GE2 (68.65 S, 61.97 E) near Mawson Station (67.60 S, 62.88 E) during the 1975/76 summer season.

The printouts from the doppler positioning used to precisely fix the position of the observation points are archived at the Australian Antarctic Division.
