[ABSTRACT] From a series of three JERS-1 SAR interferograms over the Yamato mountains area in the Antarctica, ice surface movement and change of motion speed are detected. In spite of less accurate orbit information, baselines are estimated using 1 km global DEM and referring phases over bare rock areas. Results suggest that movement is not constant over the study are, and variations of ice motion speed and acceleration exit around bare rocks.
