BAS Flights C37 - 2011

Description

In support of a planned drilling campaign on the floating portion of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica, two detailed grids of ice-penetrating radar were acquired during airborne sorties in January, 2011. The data presented here is from one of these flights (Flight C37), acquired to allow detailed site selection of optimum drill-sites.
