Antarctic Pack Ice: Boundaries Established from Nimbus I Pictures

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 a...
