Ross Ice Shelf Project, 1977–78
The 1977–78 Ross Ice Shelf Project (RISP) field season was marked by two major achievements: completion of the Ross Ice Geophysical and Glaciological Survey (RIGGS) and successful penetration of the ice shelf at the RISP drill camp (82°22′S 168°38′N). The RIGGS programme visited nearly 200 sites ove...
