Large seismic explosion experiments were conducted on the traverse route from Syowa to Mizuho Stations by the 41st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-41) in 1999-2000 and JARE-21 in 1980-1981. The P-wave velocity structure of the ice sheet, the crust and the uppermost mantle in the Mizuho...
