Chorus, hiss, and other audio-frequency emissions at stations of the whistlers-east network
1 January, 1964
Ionospherics, electromagnetic waves originating somewhere in the ionosphere or the magnetosphere of the earth, have been recorded for more than six years in the audio-frequency band at the Whistlers-East chain…Vector Mean Winds at the Argentine Islands, Graham Land, 1954-58
1 June, 1963
Upper wind observations at the Argentine Islands, Graham Land, for the period January 1954 to December 1958 are used to calculate the annual and seasonal vector mean winds. Scalar mean…Read more on Vector Mean Winds at the Argentine Islands, Graham Land, 1954-58

Pumice eruption in the area of the South Sandwich Islands
1 January, 1963
An extensive pumice raft was encountered by H.M.S. Protector in the area of the South Sandwich Islands on the 14th March, 1962. Evidence is presented which suggests that this material…Read more on Pumice eruption in the area of the South Sandwich Islands
Check list of the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic vascular flora
1 January, 1963
While studying the distribution, within Antarctic regions, of the vascular plants now known from South Georgia, numerous discrepancies were found between the accounts of various authors. The present paper is…Read more on Check list of the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic vascular flora
Observations in the South Sandwich Islands, 1962
1 January, 1963
The South Sandwich Islands lie between lats. 56° 18′ S. and 59° 28′ S., and between longs. 26° 14′ W., and 28° 11′ W. There are eleven islands, of which…Read more on Observations in the South Sandwich Islands, 1962
Some results of five years of whistler observations from Labrador to Antarctica
1 January, 1963
Some interesting curves result when whistler data are averaged over a long period of time to smooth out random short-term variations in whistler generation and propagation. Local season is such…Read more on Some results of five years of whistler observations from Labrador to Antarctica
Observations of terrestrial locomotion in Antarctic seals
1 January, 1963
Observations are reported on the modes of terrestrial locomotion among Antarctic members of the Phocidae. An account is given of the sinuous (or “swimming”) type of progression found most developed…Read more on Observations of terrestrial locomotion in Antarctic seals
The geology of Antarctica
1 January, 1962
Over much of Antarctica rock exposures are very limited in extent, occurring mainly as isolated mountain ranges, nunataks, ice‐free fringing coastal areas, and offshore islands, but the geological record is…Faunal remains on the Ross Ice Shelf in McMurdo Sound
1 January, 1962
In February 1902, members of Scott's Discovery expedition found the remains of a fish 18 in. long on the surface of the “pinnacled ice” near the ice front of the…Read more on Faunal remains on the Ross Ice Shelf in McMurdo Sound
Icebreakers, their construction and use
1 January, 1962
cebreakers are best defined by their primary uses: to break sea ice, to manœuvre in heavy concentrations of pack ice, and to clear channels through which other ships can pass…The palaeomagnetism of some igneous rocks from Antarctica
1 January, 1961
A century ago geologists first began to consider the possibility of large lateral shifts of the continents. Reconstructions of the ancient positions of the continents have been proposed at various…Read more on The palaeomagnetism of some igneous rocks from Antarctica

1 January, 1961
This paper is a summary of the more important results of glaciological investigations carried out in Trinity Peninsula, Graham Land during 1958–60, and which will be published at length in…Read more on Glaciological observations in Trinity Peninsula, Graham Land, Antarctica
