“…The Argentine Islands lie southwest of Petermann Island and are separated from the Kiev Peninsula of the AP by Penola Strait. The first mapping of the Argentine Islands was done during the first French expedition in 1903-1905 led by Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who named and charted the Argentine Islands (Balch, 1911;Charcot, 1905Charcot, , 1906Charcot, , 1930. The names of some islands were given as an appreciation for the Argentinean fleet assistance, for example, 'Uruguay' was named after the gunboat of the Argentine Navy, and other islands were named after its officers, Julián Irízar and Lieutenant Jorge Yalour, which rescued the shipwrecked Swedish Antarctic expedition led by Otto Nordensköld in 1903 (Irizar, 1904).…”

High-resolution orthophoto map and digital surface models of the largest Argentine Islands (the Antarctic) from unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry

This study presents the first high-resolution orthophoto maps and digital surface models (DSMs) of the largest Argentine Islands, West Antarctica. Aerial surveys with small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were performed in Austral summer, 2018, taking 10,041 aerial photographs. Accuracy requirements were ensured using ground control points (GCPs). A resolution of 3.4 and 6.8 cm/px of orthomosaics and DSMs is reached on average, and the RMS reprojection error is 0.22 m on average. We report the morphometric parameters of surveyed islands and discuss issues related to accuracy and the usage of UAVs in polar conditions. This study demonstrates that small and low cost UAVs can be successfully used in harsh polar conditions to obtain accurate orthomosaics and DSMs of mainly glaciated terrain. We provide all generated materials in full resolution available in a scientific data repository that could be used for the monitoring of ice cap changes, vegetation cover, and wildlife populations.

“…First glaciological observations in the area of the Argen tine Islands (-64.24716W; -65.24992S) were started at the beginning of 20th century during the first French expedition in 1903-1905, when the islands were mapped and named for the first time (Balch, 1911;Charcot, 1905Charcot, , 1930. During the British Graham Land Expedition (1934)(1935)(1936)(1937) varied surveys were performed and more detailed topographic maps were published (Fleming et al, 1938).…”

This paper represents results of GPR surveying of the ice caps on Galindez (-64.24716W; -65.24992S), Winter (-64.25954W; -65.24944S) and Skua (-64.26530W; -65.25309S) islands (Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica) for the period April 2017 -January 2019. The main objectives were identification of the ice layering, monitoring of interglacial heterogeneities (crevasses, interglacial channels and voids) and measurements of the ice thickness. Methods: Surveying on the glaciers has been do ne with ground coupled shielded bowtie antenna VIY3-300 (300 MHz) GPR and with air coupled dipole Zond 12-e (75 MHz) antenna system. Monitoring investigation of glacier's interior has been done with VIY3-300. Zond 12-e was applied mostly for indication of the ice-rock border. Monitoring investigation has been done on one (1) ice cap on Galindez Island, on two (2) ice caps on Winter Island and on two (2) ice caps on Skua Island. Monitoring with VIY3-300 GPR of the ice cap on Galindez Island has been done
