Abstract
Marie Tharp's story is part of our Unsung Characters series, which tells the stories of scientists whose work has been underappreciated or little known. In Tharp's case, technologies refined during World War II made it possible for ships to use soundings to accurately measure ocean depth. Present-day Antarctic researchers use World War II-era technologies including radar to peer under the ice, as well as bulky equipment to melt deep exploratory holes and then lower cameras down.
