Abstract
The coastal regions in Antarctica are sensitive parts for mass balance studies of the Antarctic ice sheet. On the one hand they have a maximum snow accumulation compared to the relatively dry inland regions (see e.g. Giovinetto et al., 1990), on the other hand the grounding line, where the continental ice starts to swim up, is the boundary for mass balance studies. The ice flow across the grounding line is the main output quantity of the Antarctic ice sheet. Therefore, it is easy to conclude, that the determination of the location of the grounding line is an important condition for mass balance studies.
