[Edward Carl Thiel;]. This remarkable book, Impossible Journey: The Story of the Victoria Land Traverse –, Antarctica, provides an unvarnished account of Antarctic exploration and scientific data gathering during a four-month period, a half-century ago, in the remote, desolate, unusually harsh, and unexplored deep interior of Antarctica.

From the era of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), we have. The geoscientific results of the Victoria Land Traverse, are presented with interpretations and conclusions.

The South Pole–Queen Maud Land Traverse (SPQMLT) was a three-part scientific exploration of Antarctica undertaken by the United States in the s. The three parts, referred to individually as South Pole–Queen Maud Land Traverse I, II, and III (SPQMLT-1, -2, and -3), traveled a zigzag route across nearly km of the Antarctic Plateau in the austral summers of –, – Wilkes Land anomaly.

A giant impact crater beneath the Wilkes Land ice sheet was first proposed by R. Schmidt in on the basis of the seismic and gravity discovery of the feature made by the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse in –60 (VLT), and the data provided to Schmidt by J.

Weihaupt, geophysicist of the VLT (Geophysical Studies in Victoria Land, Antarctica, Report No. Berkner island is a grounded ice feature on Berkner bank, which gravity data indicate is probably composed of morainal material.

The eastern section of the shelf is flowing seaward at a high rate, and the amount of ice lost at the ice front is greater than accumulation on the shelf. SCIENTISTS have located an enormous object hidden under the frozen wastes of Antarctica which is so vast it causes extraordinary changes in gravity.

Gravity Survey along the Mizuho Traverse Routes, East Antarctica: SEAL Seismic Exploration in December International Journal of Geosciences (4) Jade is an 18 year old student from Melbourne, Australia who loves being active and outdoors.

At Jade completed the trek to Everest Base Camp and was inspired by the courage of two women she befriended on that trip – one who had previously skied to the South Pole solo and the other who had been the first woman to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen.

The Wilkes Land Gravity Anomaly, first reported in –60, is located in northern Victoria Land in the Pacific Ocean sector of East Antarctica, km west of the Ross Sea and centred at 70°00'S°00'E. Initially described on the basis of ground-based seismic and gravity survey, and estimated at the time to have a diameter of km.

The Little America-Byrd Station Traverse, along with the Horlick Mountains Traverse and the Sentinel Mountains Traverse, was a traverse of Antarctica performed by Dr. Charles Bentley before and during the International Geophysical Year of In this instance, Dr. Bentley and his team traveled from the research station called Little America V to another called Byrd Station to measure.

An American explorer has made the first solo unsupported trek across Antarctica, an epic feat of endurance that took nearly two months and ended with an extraordinary sprint. Colin O’Brady. What is a Traverse. There are 2 ways to get equipment and people to Antarctica: either a ship or an airplane.

The ship is cheaper but takes at least a week to reach the southern continent from the closest land. It can stay stuck in the sea ice for weeks if the breakup hasn't occurred yet and there are very few convenient harbors in Antarctica.

An early (s) gravity traverse over Wilkes Land in Antarctica yielded an unusual gravity profile: free air anomaly to mgal, steep negative free air gravity anomaly gradients (to Book Now "Gravity Haus brings the backcountry experience -- the spirit of community and the bonds formed from shared outdoor experiences -- to the base of one of the coolest mountain towns in North America." Jim Deters Founder of Gravity Haus.A gravity survey was conducted along the Mizuho traverse routes in austral summer of by the 41st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE).

The main purpose of the survey was to obtain detail gravity anomaly along the traverse routes, where deep seismic exploration was simultaneously conducted in order to obtain a fine crustal structure of the Mizuho Plateau.
