Brief Description (Abstract):

Multi frequency EM, magnetic and radiometric measurements were carried out covering an area between longitudes 11? 26' E to 11?50' E, along thirteen traverses in the Schirmacher landmass during the Fifth Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica. Out of these, two traverses were laid across the reported secondary sulphide minerali sation and the two others in the area where secondary sulphide minerali sation was seen near a suspected fissure zone.

Status: Completed

Purpose: During the Third Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica, geological studies indicated occurrence of sulphide and graphite mineralisation in Schirmacher Land-mass lying between longitudes 11?26 E and 11?50 E. These reported occurrences were motivation for carrying out geophysical studies to understand details of mineralisation. For exploring the mineral potential of Schirmacher Landmass, it was planned to carry out multifrequency electromagnetic, induced polarisation,magnetic and differential gamma radiation surveying during the Fifth Expedition. Besides, it was also planned to study seismic activity, if any, in Schirmacher region
