- "Between December and March each year, at the height of the brief Antarctic summer, the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition relief ship Kista Dan visits the three Australian Antarctic Scientific Research stations on Heard and Macquarie Island and at Mawson on the Antarctic mainland. In March 1955, the base on Heard Island was temporarily discontinued, but in February, 1954, a station was established at Mawson, on the Antarctic mainland. The men who man these stations, the scientists, cooks, doctors, engineers, carpenters, radio operators and dog-masters are drawn from all walks of life in Australia, and stay on the base for a year at a time. Many of them return to one or another of the stations for a second, and in some cases for a third term."--Printed on label on verso.
