Abstract:
AbstractDeep radar soundings as part of the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (US-ITASE) traverses in West Antarctica have revealed a bright internal reflector that we have imaged throughout widespread locations across the ice sheet. The layer is seen in traverses emanating from Byrd Station in four directions and has been traced continuously for distances of 535km toward the Weddell Sea drainage, 500km toward South Pole, 150km toward the Executive Committee Range and 160km toward Kamb Ice Stream (former Ice Stream C). The approximate area encompassed by the layer identified

Abstract:
The climate of the Holocene is, for continental regions from middle and low latitudes, relatively well documented from pollen studies and other sources. To obtain a global picture, these data must be supplemented by climatic series from polar regions. Such information may be extracted from δD or δ18O ice-core profiles but the interpretation of these isotopic records suffers some limitations, (1) because, expected temperature changes being small, they can be obscured by noise effects in the isotope-temperature relationship, and (2) because they can be influenced, especially in coastal regions,

AbstractResults of analyses of snow annual accumulation variability, density and crystal growth measurements in firn and ice cores recovered from the upper layers of the West Antarctic ice sheet during the US component of the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE) are presented. Annual-layer structure was analyzed on the basis of the visible stratigraphy and electrical conductivity measurement record in each core. Annual accumulation varied appreciably between core sites and within cores at individual sites where undulating surface topography appears to be exerting a signi

Abstract:
The Heroic Era in Polar Exploration is filled with fascinating stories about interesting men, and the Race for the Poles is richly described in hundreds of books. The Heroic Era in Polar Exploration coincided with the conception of film technology and rise of commercial cinema, and many polar explorers saw potential in utilising this new technology as a research tool. As a result there exists a range of films from the Polar Explorations, but since their making and initial screenings they have received little attention. The story of these films is also an interesting one, although it has not ye

AbstractOf 52 Antarctic sites and monuments of historic interest currently listed under Antarctic Treaty recommendations, 26 occur in the Ross Dependency, associated mostly with the expeditions of Scott and Shackleton. Many have recently been visited and a number of further sites, including several dating from Byrd expeditions, have been identified by New Zealand field parties. This article catalogues all Ross Dependency sites recorded to the end of 1987, and the current state of preservation of their artefacts, which are in the care of Antarctic Division, New Zealand DSIR.

Abstract:
Both the ice structure and the ice fabric along the 2200 m ice core at Vostok Station were investigated during the 25th, 29th and 30th Soviet Antarctic Expeditions. Several kinds of three-dimensional parameters of polycrystalline ice were measured, e.g. the mean diameter and size distribution of ice crystals and air bubbles, and specific volume The variation in most of these parameters along the core reflects not only the process of metamorphism in ice but also changes in the environmental conditions at the surface. The causes of these variations are discussed, in order to estimate the possibi

AbstractHydrozoans are recognized as one of the main and most characteristic zoological groups of the Antarctic benthos, despite the fact that there are still large Antarctic areas where the hydrozoan fauna is completely unknown or poorly known (e.g., the Admunsen Sea and Mary Byrd Land, in West Antarctica, and Queen Maud Land and Enderby Land, in East Antarctica). The present study contributes to a better understanding of the Ross Sea benthic hydroid fauna by studying material collected through several New Zealand expeditions mostly with RV Tangaroa.

Abstract:
This chapter begins with the declaration Douglas Mawson made in the autumn of 1946 that the Antarctic contained great deposits of uranium. Soon after Mawson's comments, the New York Times ran a story describing a six-nation race to find and exploit this uranium. The chapter highlights journalist and translator Gustave Aucouturier, who wrote that France should be wary of American intentions as they refused to recognize France's claim to Terre Adélie and famed aviator and polar explorer Richard E. Byrd had a new Antarctic expedition called Operation Highjump. The chapter describes that the Frenc
