Radio-Echo Sounding in the Allan Hills, Antarctica, in Support of the Meteorite Field Program.
Abstract
Radio-echo sounding measurements made on Ross Island and in the Allan Hills Antarctica indicate that radio-echo sounding may offer the unique possibility of detecting a buried meteorite in glacial ice. The results also revealed internal layering within the snow on Ross Island and in the snow filling an ice depression west of Allan Nunatak. Radio-echo sounding also gave the depth to bedrock near the west side of Allan Nunatak. The greatest ice depth measured was 310 m. (Author)
