Experimental results of aerosol optical thickness in East-Antarctica are presented. The observations were carried out by a GDR-team at three Soviet Antarctic stations during the polar summer of 1984-85. The nearly uniform optical thickness of τ_A≃0.037 was observed at the coastal stations (Mirny, Molodezhnaya) as well as at the continental station Vostok.
