The Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf is located in an ice-shelf belt surrounding coastal Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. Here, we provide two radar profiles on the ice shelf, which were collected with the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research multichannel ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system in austral summer 2018/19 in a collaborative project. The radar system used the eight-element fuselage antenna array installed on AWI's Polar 6 BT-67 aircraft. Data were recorded in a frequency range of 150-520 MHz at an average altitude of 365 m above ground.
