Abstract Seismic refraction and reflection shooting was carried out along three profiles about 10 km long, angled 60° to one another, near “Byrd” station, Antarctica, during the 1970–71 field season. No dependence of velocity upon azimuth was found, but velocities at 200 or 300 m depth were slightly...
