Common offset modification of the GPR method was applied; central frequency of ground coupled antenna: 300 MHz. Results: GPR profiles were recorded along 2 glaciers on Winter island, 2 glaciers on Skua island and along 1 glacier on Galindez island.

Speed of work is 300 meters in 20 minutes for new area (first time surveying on glacier) and 600 meters in 30 minutes for monitoring site (while monitoring on Galindez island).
