Abstract: For every $ggg1$, we show the existence of a complete and smooth family of closed constant mean curvature surfaces $f_{v}arph{i}^g,$ $varphiin[0,fracpi2],$ in the round $3$-sphere deforming the Lawson surface $x{i}_{1,g}$ to a doubly covered geodesic 2-sphere with monotonically increasing Willmore energy. To construct these we use an implicit function theorem argument in the parameter $t=frac12(g+1)$. This allows us to give an iterative algorithm to compute the power series expansion of the DPW potential and area of $f_{v}arph{i}^g$ at $t=0$ explicitly. In particular, we obtain for large genus Lawson surfaces $x{i}_{1,g}$ % due to the real analytic dependence of its area and DPW potential on $t,$ a scheme to explicitly compute the coefficients of the power series in $t$ in terms of multiple polylogarithms. Remarkably, the third order coefficient of the area expansion is identified with $frac94zeta(3),$ where $zeta$ is the Riemann $zeta$ function (while the first and second order term were shown to be $log(2)$ and $0$ respectively in cite{HHT}).
