ERS SAR images acquired in the austral summer 1993 and 1996-97 and spring 1996 and 2000 were used for analyses of spatio-temporal variations of glacier facies (GF, i.e., dry-snow zone, percolation zone, wet-snow zone and glacier ice) on the northeastern Antarctic Peninsula (AP). The study area inclu...
