GPR Survey of Fortification Objects on Matua Island

Abstract

The results of GPR survey of fortification objects on Matua island, Kuril archipelago are discussed. Selected results of discovering the storage places of military equipment and infrastructure of the period of the Second World War are presented. It is shown that the use of an extended-power GPR with 50–350 MHz antennas provides an efficient solution of the subsurface location problem in highly stratified wet grounds of volcanic origin.
