Description
Harnish Creek Tributary (Relict Channel) drains the source glacier for the Von Guerard stream in the Kukri Hills. Water quality is monitored just upstream of its confluence with Harnish Creek (at the F11 gauge).
Environmental data
Hydrological, biological, chemical, and physical property measurements have been made for a number of McMurdo Dry Valley streams and lakes.
