Title: | Five subglacial lakes and one of Antarctica's thickest ice covers newly determined by radio echo sounding over the Vostok-Dome C region | Journal: | Polar Research | Series/Report no.: | 1 / 25 (2006) | Publisher: | Blackwell Publishing | Issue Date: | Jan-2006 | Keywords: | radio echo sounding (RES) Antarctica subglacial lakes |
Subject Classification: | 02. Cryosphere::02.02. Glaciers::02.02.99. General or miscellaneous | Abstract: | Radio echo sounding (RES) measurements were collected from 1995 to 2003 during Italian Antarctic expeditions over the Vostok-Dome C region. The data collected allow for the reconstruction of a bedrock elevation map between the Belgica Highlands and the Aurora Subglacial Basin (112.0° - 124.0°E 74.0° - 78.0°S). Moreover, analysis of the RES data has revealed one of the thickest ice covers in Antarctica (4755 ± 16 m; 118.321°E, 76.059°S) as well as five new subglacial lakes. |
