In the austral summer of 1986-1987 (JARE-27 and -28), both radio echo sounding and gravity surveys were carried out for measuring ice thickness in the S∅r Rondane Mountains, Antarctica. Comparative measurements were carried out along test lines across two outlet glaciers, Gjelbreen and Gunnestadbree...
