Abstract
An extensive glaciological programme was started on the McMurdo Ice Shelf in the 1962–63 summer. Parameters such as absolute movement, direction of movement, compression and extension strain rates, 10-metre density profiles, and accumulation rate have been measured. Preliminary examination of the data show little direct relation between orientation of maximum compression and absolute speed of movement and direction.Keywords
