Description
Summary:Submitted to the U.S. National Committee for the IGY, National Academy of Sciences, in partial fulfillment of IGY Project Number 4.10 - NSF Grant No. Y/4.10/285. The glaciological program at Byrd Station, Antarctica, during the 1959-59 traverse was essentially a continuation of the program initiated by Vernon Anderson and Mario Giovinetto during 1957 and 1958. As in previous years, the work was divided into traverse glaciological studies during the summer and station observations during the winter. Certain modifications and additions to some of the original studies were made. This report is divided into two parts, traverse glaciology and station glaciology. National Science Foundation Grant No. Y/4.10/285.
