An engineer in the mains section of the Municipal Electricity Department, Mr F. Gurney will fly to the Antarctic next month to help complete the establishment of a scientific station in the Wright Dry Valley, about 75 miles south of Scott Base. Mr Gurney was selected as the representative of the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Antarctic Society to work with the Antarctic Division, Department of Scientific and industrial Research, on the project. Two members of the D.S.I.R. and a North Island member of the Antarctic Society will make up the team. They will fly south on October 21. From Scott Base they will travel by helicopter to the new Vanda Station.
