| Since 1702, floods caused by glaciological conditions have repeatedly caused death and destruction in the region. |
| Unique geological, glaciological, and meteorological studies continue there from purpose-built bases around the edge of Antarctica or at the South Pole. |
| Summer Rupper, the lead investigator of the glaciological component of our research program, had fallen ill with a stomach virus and had not been able to eat for more than 24 hours. |
| The intent of the expeditions was to study the biological factors, geographical landscape, and glaciological features of the area. |
| Polar ice shelves are significant and widespread glaciological features in Antarctica. |
| After this, the area became a focus for mountaineering and glaciological research, a role which continues today. |
