Abstract
During Operation HIGHJUMP (U. S. Navy Antarctic Development Project, 1947), the writer frequently noted the presence of a layer of deep scatterers on the fathogram of the USS HENDERSON. This layer partially scatters the outgoing sound signal of the recording echo sounder during daylight hours so that a reflection is recorded which has the appearance of a false bottom at various depths between 150 and 450 fathoms.
