Cambridge East Greenland Expedition 1976

The expedition travelled overland from the airstrip at Mesters Vig to the Roslin glacier. There intention had been to condict a longitudinal surbey of the glacier in order to assess its movement and to predict future surge phases. Unfortunately, poor weather and their small team hampered their efforts and they changed tack, conducting a traversing survey instead. This was completed successfully, as was an ascent of Dalmore Junior (1700m).
