The results of 10 years' (1958–68) record of accumulation and ablation from the Ward Hunt ice rise and of 3 years' (1965–68) record from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf are presented. The net mass balances on the ice rise for the 3 years 1962–65 are positive, while the net mass balances measured in the other years on both ice rise and ice shelf are all negative.
