Antarctica - The Dynamic Heart of It All - USGS Fact Sheet
Description: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has worked in Antarctica for nearly 50 years, starting in 1947 with geophysical and geologic surveys and in 1957 with topographic mapping. Today the USGS also does marine, airborne, and satellite studies, as well as mapping and coring of the ice sheet, as part of the U.S. Antarctic Program. USGS scientific leadership is a cornerstone for international Antarctic cooperation, and data and information gathered by USGS researchers are important to the development of U.S. policy regarding the Antarctic.

Lava-Cooling Operations During the 1973 Eruption of Eldfell Volcano, Heimaey, Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, U.S.Geological Survey Open-File Report 97-724, by Richard S. Williams,Jr., Editor
Description: In order to protect public and private property from being destroyed by lava flows, various plans and actual attempts have been made in the past on volcanoes to stop or divert lava flows. The most extensive ever attempted, however, were the lava-cooling operations on Heimaey, Iceland, and the two excellent accounts of the operations that were published in Icelandic by a geophysicist, Thorbjörn Sigurgeirsson, and two engineers, Valdimar Kr. Jónsson and Matthías Matthíasson, are translated into English in this open-file report.
