Extensive dc-resistivity measurements were carried out in May and June 1972 near Pond Inlet, N. W. T. to determine the resistivity and the anisotropy of the sea ice. The sea ice proved to be transversely isotropic with regard to dc currents. The coefficient of anisotropy of undistrubed ice is approx...
