The ten-man summer field party of the 31st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-31) carried out geological, biological and geodetic field work at Mt. Pardoe and Tonagh Island in the southernmost part of the Amundsen Bay region. On the other hand, from 12 to 19 February 1990,four men on board S-61 helicopter took aerophotographs of coastal areas around Casey and Amundsen Bays. This report describes the operation planning and summarizes the field operation with a brief report on geological, biological and geodetic field work and the result of aerial photography.
