Participants in the expedition of Hubert Wilkins, their equipment and two aircraft were delivered by a steamer "Gecatorium" to the island of "Foney" from the western bank of Graaama. Here they built the main base. From here, Wilkins assumed to fly to the sea Weddell, to create an auxiliary base there and from there to make more southern flights to the sea of Ross. Austin-7 was also assumed to be used to move on Antarctica. But even on double wheels, he could not successfully move on the ice.
