Description
Summary:The feature of the Antarctic Continent beneath ice sheet has been clarified by applying geophysical methods since the International Geophysical Year which started in 1957. The crustal structure of the Antarctic Continent was studied by means of gravity data analysis, explosion seismology and surface wave dispersions. The seismicity in Antarctica was also studied with the data which were obtained through the world wide seismological network, especially at the seismological stations in Antarctica. Two active volcanoes are located in Antarctica.
