Dynamic tests were performed to determine Young's modulus of sea ice, derived from longitudinal wave velocities measured with soniscope; static tests consisted of standard ring tensile strength and simple beam or flexural strength tests; test results indicate that annual sea ice at McMurdo Sound is capable of supporting cargo type aircraft; snow runways capable of supporting C-130 aircraft on wheels and providing marginal support to C-121 can be constructed either with Peter plow or with pulvimixer; criteria for support of various types of aircraft on snow runway are presented.
