Ground-penetrating radar surveys at three nunataks in the Hudson Mountains in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica, December 2019
This dataset contains data from three ground-penetrating radar surveys undertaken to image ice thickness and englacial stratigraphy during the 2019-20 Antarctic field season, as part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (funded by NERC and NSF). The ground-penetrating radar data are presented as SEG-Y, along with the GPS tracks of the surveys, presented as GPS Exchange Format (GPX). The subglacial extensions of ridges of three nunataks close to Pine Island and Larter Glaciers in the Hudson Mountains region were surveyed, with the aim of determining their suitability as subglacial bedrock drill sites. Those nunataks are Winkie Nunatak (74 degrees 51'' 41.0" S/99 degrees 46'' 49.4" W), Evans Knoll (74 degrees 51'' 00.0" S/100 degrees 25'' 00.0" W), and Webber Nunatak (74 degrees 47'' 00.0" S/99 degrees 50'' 00.0" W).
This work was funded by NERC grants NE/S00663X/1 and NE/S006710/1.
