As we enter the IPY geological boundary conditions for the stability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) remain largely unknown. During the 2005/06 field season a major new aerogeophysical survey was performed over the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, the Transantarctic Mountains and Dome C. Over 60,000...
