The Royal Commission on the Mount Erebus Air Disaster
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2009
Extract
On 28 November 1979 an Air New Zealand DC 10 aircraft on sight-seeing flight TE901 crashed into Mount Erebus, Ross Island in the Ross Dependency, Antarctica, killing all 257 people on board. The disaster and its subsequent investigation are of considerable concern not only for the New Zealand legal system, but also for the nascent discipline of Antarctic law (Auburn 1982).
