澳大利亚南极部门在Heard Island进行的两次子南极考察中，向超过50名科学家发放了存在严重缺陷的装备和漏水帐篷1。根据内部政府文件，这些帐篷的外壳未做防水处理、拉链多处失效、防寒层厚度不足，且未进行接缝防水处理1。考察队员在2025年10月至2026年1月期间共停留35天1。
第二次考察期间，当地遭遇极端天气，风速达85节（时速157公里）1。强风导致多个营地的帐篷倒塌，营地物资散落，并造成轻微人员伤害1。澳大利亚在此次考察中首次检测到H5禽流感，并清除了1吨以上的历史毒物1。
Australia's Antarctic Division supplied over 50 scientists with substandard gear and defective tents during two expeditions to Heard Island between October 2025 and January 2026, according to internal government documents 1. The equipment exhibited multiple critical failures, including non-waterproof tent shells, malfunctioning zippers, and inadequate insulation layers, with seams left unsealed against moisture 1.
The consequences of these equipment failures became apparent during the second expedition when extreme weather struck the remote location in the Southern Ocean, approximately 4,000 kilometers southwest of Perth 1. Wind speeds reached 85 knots (157 kilometers per hour), causing tent collapses across multiple campsites and resulting in minor injuries to personnel 1. Equipment and supplies were scattered throughout the affected camps during the severe weather event 1.
Despite the challenging conditions and equipment problems, the expeditions achieved significant scientific milestones 1. The teams conducted Australia's first-ever detection of H5 avian influenza and successfully removed over one ton of historical toxic materials from the island 1. The researchers spent a combined 35 days on Heard Island across the two expedition periods 1.
