P(論文) On the foundation of the latest cartographical materials, obtained in the period of IGY and following years I. A. SUYETOVA carried out the complex of cartometrical works and received the following values : 1. The area of Antarctica. 2. The average altitude of the ice and rock surface in relation to the ocean level. 3. The volume and thickness of the ice of the ice sheet of Antarctica. 4. Perimeter of Antarctica. The valuation of the Antarctic perimeter as well as the latest glaciological facts allowed to make new attempts in calculating the budget of the Antarctic ice sheet. The analysis of facts necessary for calculation of the budget allowed to calculate maximum and average square miscalculations. The average square miscalculation shows the positive ice-budget of Antarctica. The valuation of the maximum miscalculation shows the equilibrium of ice in Antarctica. departmental bulletin paper
