During the past decades, radar sounder (RS) instruments have been effectively used to detect subglacial lakes (SLs). SLs appear as flat, smooth, and bright reflectors in RS radargrams. The visual interpretation has been the main approach to SL detection in radargrams. However, this approach is subje...
