Aeromagnetic Survey - Local Data

The acquistion in 1973 of an aeromagnetic system enabled the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) to initiate a systematic geophysical survey. In addition to a regional survey, areas of specific local geological interest were surveyed in greater detail. The first local datasets were collected during the 1970s and 1980s from four locations: Horseshoe Island, Graham Land; Neny Fjord, Graham Land; Staccato Peaks, Alexander Island; Beethoven Peninsula, Alexander Island. Subsequent surveys have expanded on this and metadata records for each survey are available by following the Related_URL link to the BAS data catalogue. These data have all been incorporated into the Antarctic Digital Magnetic Anomaly Project (ADMAP).
