They discovered a southern permanently frozen channel later named King George VI Sound islanding Alexander I Land now Alexander Island and extending to the Bellingshausen Sea. The B.G.L.E. logistics were innovative in Antarctica. Outstanding sledging with dogs especially over sea ice was backed by air support and depot laying; the use of a motor launch probing ahead to plot a route for "Penola" through uncharted rock-strewn waters was original and successful.
