Brief Description (Abstract):

Results of magnetic and seismic investigations around the Indian Base Station in Antarctica have established the usefulness of geophysical tools in delineating sub-shelfstructures. Of the explosives tried so far for selecting a suitable energy source for seismic studies, Low Temperature Plastic Explosives (LTPE) developed by ERDL, Pashan, has been found to be the best under sub-zero climatic conditions of Antarctica.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Magnetic investigations initiated during Second Indian Antarctic Expedition were continued thereafter, including during Fifth Indian Antarctic Expedition. During this Expedition, another 26 km long magnetic traverse, 5 km east of Indian Permanent Station was completed.
