Expedition members explored and documented the island's topography, geology, glaciology, and biology, as well as its meteorological and geophysical environments.
It is by viewing these that one is able to see the importance of his contribution to glaciology.
Requests from the wider public have covered such subjects as the world's oldest ice, the history of glaciology, and presenting glaciology to children.
They had travelled over 1000 km and had studied all of the following aspects of science: topography, geology, glaciology, biology and meteorology.
The claim made for the book is that it is an authoritative and comprehensive reference work on contemporary issues in glaciology.
This book aims to provide such students, and less-experienced researchers, with a practical guide to a range of techniques in glaciology and glacial geomorphology.
Chapter 1 is a good account of the present-day glaciology, atmospheric circulation and oceanography.
Overall, this is an excellent book and certainly represents compulsory reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students who wish to carry out fieldwork in glaciology and glacial geomorphology.
