Summary
Abstract: Timelapse camera, ice-penetrating radar and GPS data collected at the grounding zone of Beardmore Glacier, Transantarctic Mountains, Dec 2010. Two time-lapse cameras were deployed on the summit of Mt. Hope, looking down onto the grounding zone of the glacier. This site was also selected for installation of a fixed GPS basestation, which would provide a 'known point' against which the other ... View entire text
