Aeromagnetic surveys of the Ross Island and Taylor Glacier quadrangles

Description: 
Magnetic profiles flown in 1962 along the axes of Wright and Taylor Valleys indicated that there were no magnetic anomalies exceeding 20 gammas. Data from the present survey bear out those findings, but magnetic anomalies having amplitude of 1,200 gammas are present in uplands surrounding the dry valleys. The anomalies are believed to be produced by isolated remnants of the Ferrar dolerites.
