Glaciological studies made at Wilkes base and on the Antarctic Icecap between Wilkes and Vostok, in 1962
© 1964 Alastair Cameron Battye During 1962 data were collected at Wilkes Base, Antarctica and between Wilkes Base and Vostok, 850 miles inland, on snow accumulation rates and sub-surface ice temperatures. These data have been used in conjunction with information on ice thicknesses to calculate theor...
