Objectives, findings and observations, photos, any discoveries, any problems or adverse events, and a conclusion. One of the three pages may be photos, graphs or figures. The conclusion is required whether or not you met your objective.

Notes and warnings

Note. There is a maximum as well as a minimum: at least one page, no more than three, and one of those pages may be photos, graphs or figures. The conclusion is required whether or not you reached your objective: an expedition that missed its goal still has a report with a conclusion in it.
