The Scoping Document for the 1997 Expedition to Heard Island is posted on a Web site:

http://www.ccnet.com/~cordell/HI/scoping

The pages were designed for Netscape 2.0b3. The graphics may not display correctly for you at the moment; I'm working on it. The scoping document will be updated as appropriate.

We invite you to look this over and provide feedback. If you are interested in contributing, as a participant, donor, supporter, or any other capacity, we would welcome your help. This project is going to be a very big effort. We want to especially emphasize that we will give safety the highest priority in all operations. We have agreed that we will do this expedition right, or we won't do it.

Later Don Greenbaum WB2DND will post the HI Expedition Web pages, which will provide additional information about the Project, and will be updated often during the actual expedition.
