Meteorological data and mass balance measurements on Davies Dome and Whisky Glacier in 2006?2010, James Ross Island, Antarctica
Original language description
In this contribution, two glaciers located on the northern part of James Ross Island (Ulu Peninsula) are studied to determine the impact of local climate changes on glacier mass balance. Whisky Glacier is a well-delimited valley glacier located mostly below the local Equilibrium line altitude (ELA). The glacier has an area of 2.3 km2 and lies in the altitude range of 215?460 m a.s.l. Davies Dome is a flat-bottom dome glacier with significant part of its surface located above the ELA and a single outletthat flows towards the SW. Field mapping and mass balance measurements were used to reveal the spatial change of glacier surfaces and to assess the annual mass balance. The maximum thickness of Davies Dome and Whisky Glacier is 85 m and 145 m respectively.
