Subglacial topography and internal structure of central and western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, determined from airborne radio echo sounding.

During five austral summers, from 1994/95 until 1998/99, the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI)carried out a large airborne radio echo sounding (RES) survey in Dronning Maud Land (DML),Antarctica. These ice thickness measurements are part of the AWI contribution to the pre-site survey for a deep ice cor...
