Abstract
Measurements of the acceleration due to gravity have been made in the Wright Valley area of Victoria Land, Antarctica. On an east-west traverse from the coast of McMurdo Sound, across the Wilson Piedmont and Lower Wright Glaciers and along the Wright Valley the Bouguer anomaly varies from — 10 mgal at the coast to — 80 mgal at the western edge of the Lower Wright Glacier and to — 110 mgal at the head of the valley. The gradient near the coast is about 5 mgal/km; along the valley it is about 1 mgal/km.Keywords
