The deputy leader at Scott Base, Ted Robinson, and building services officer Garth Varcoe making the Erebus memorial cross that was dedicated in December 1979.

Many of those involved in the site investigation and recovery operation assisted with its construction, taking 'one or two shavings off it with a plane' or 'rubbing a little oil into the wood'.
