Abstract
A TELLURIC current recording system was installed at the Soviet station, Vostok, on the Antarctic ice cap near the South Geomagnetic Pole in December 1964. It has generally been assumed that the high resistivity would preclude such an operation. The prime difference between an ice cap installation and a land-based operation1 lies in the electrode installation technique and the inherent high electrode-pair resistance.
