Summary "Deployment of Broadband Seismic Stations on the Antarctica Continent " is an ambitious project to improve the special resolution of seismic data across the Antarctic Plate. The project has several components, including 1) process-oriented experiments such as 3D-arrays; 2) evolving regional arrays; and 3) a permanent backbone network. Temporary broadband stations deployed on outcrops and continental ice sheet around Eastern Dronning Maud Land – Enderby Land areas will contribute strongly to IPY related major programs such as the ‘POLEr observation NETwork (POLENET) (IPY project #185)’. The observed data during IPY will be available from Japanese library servers (ex., POLARIS of NIPR), and sent to world data centres (IRIS/DMS, PACIFIC21), and to AMD/JCADM of the SCAR/ANTEC. In addition to lithospheric studies, data from the large span arrays of broadband stations will allow more detailed investigations of the Earth's deep interior under high southern latitudes.
