Integrated geophysical investigations in the area of Bulgarian Antactic Base at the Livingston Island

Results from geophysical measurements in Hurd Peninsula of Livingston Island are presented along with an analysis and interpretation of the data acquired. The geophysical complex includes electromagnetic sounding (EMs), gravimetry, magnitometry and magnetic gradiometry. These methods are applied in an area between the sea coast and hills around, where metasedimentary complex of the Mауers Bluff formation outcrops, crossed by dykes and in part of the terrain covered by snow and thick ice layer. Useful methodical experience and interesting field data are obtained from the carried out geophysical works. They contribute significantly to a fast distant bedrock mapping and deep geologic structures investigations in the severe Antarctic conditions.
