Abstract:

MT measured in Great Wall Station area shows that the electrical conductivity major axis of the Wind Valley Fault is 110°NE and the crustal thickness in the Fildes Peninsula is about 22. 3 km. The crust contains four main resistivity layers with their thicknesses being 1. 3 km, 6. 7 km, 1. 2 km and 13.1 km respectively. The upper crustal thickness is 9. 2 km and the lower crustal thickness is 13. 1 km.

Key words: Fildes Peninsula, magnetotelluric deep sounding, electrical conductivity structure
