Promoting the Decay of Sea-Ice
Proposes a method for hastening the spring melting by hosing the ice with sea water. This would raise the salinity of the surface from approx. 5 per mil in the Arctic, to 20 or 30 per mil, resulting in increased absorption of solar radiation, greater surface heat, etc., which in turn would weaken the ice. This method, utilizing submersible pumps, should be relatively inexpensive
The Amery Ice Shelf and its hinterland
During the thirty years since the Amery Ice Shelf was first sighted there has been a steady accumulation of information, first on the ice shelf itself and later on the interesting mountains and glacier systems which lie to its south. The ice shelf occupies the head of a large embayment consisting of Prydz Bay and Mackenzie Bay, which deeply indents the coastline of the Antarctic mainland near the borders of MacRobertson Land and Princess Elizabet…

Variations of the Ice Margins in East Antarctica
Since THE last century, glaciers over most of the earth have been shrinking. A mass of evidence of his trend has been collected by Ahlmann in comprehensive survey of glacier variations,1 while other writers, too numerous to mention, have brought forward proof of recent glacier recessions in Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, New Zealand, and the Arctic regions. Since about 1940-50, however, there are signs that the recession has becom…
