Ice Surface Elevation of Central Marie Byrd Land
An ice surface map of central Marie Byrd Land has been compiled from aero-altimetric data taken on 14,000 km. of flight lines during the Antarctic summer of 1960–61 using standard aircraft equipment. A large depression sloping down towards the Filchner Ice Shelf was determined and earlier known feat...

Summary: | An ice surface map of central Marie Byrd Land has been compiled from aero-altimetric data taken on 14,000 km. of flight lines during the Antarctic summer of 1960–61 using standard aircraft equipment. A large depression sloping down towards the Filchner Ice Shelf was determined and earlier known features in the area are shown in greater detail. |
