| Summary: | Television and photofacsimile-constructed infrared pictures taken by the Nimbus I meteorological satellite between 28 August and 22 September 1964 were analyzed for indications of the pack-ice boundary around Antarctica. Mean ice boundaries were established around the entire continent from both TV and infrared pictures, from which were estimated pack-ice areas of 19.81 by 10 6 and 16.78 by 10 6 square kilometers, respectively; the difference is attributed to difference in subjective discernment of a boundary. |
