    Description: A large number of airborne and ground-based radar echo sounding (RES) data were collected in the Dome C - Vostok region during the Italian Antarctic expeditions in 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001. Tabacco et al. (1998) used the 1995 data to produce a topographic map of Dome C. We present a new map of bed topography based on all collected radar data.

    Description: A new bedrock map of the Dome C area is presented, based on all radar data collected during Italian Antarctic Expeditions in 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001. The map clearly distinguishes the Dome C plateau, along with valleys and ridges. The plateau develops at three different altimetric levels, and its morphology is characterized by hills and closed depressions. There are no visible features which can be ascribed to glacial erosion or deposition. The major valley is 15km wide and 500m deep; its axis is parallel to that of other valleys and ridges in the plateau. The valley bottom is not flat, but contains a saddle at its centre. The morphology of the major valley may be considered a relict one which was not modified by the overlying ice cap. Two large ridges, characterized by hills, saddles and depressions, lie near the boundaries of the area. The map is used to recalculate ice thickness below the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) borehole. The new thickness is 3300 m, 50m greater than before, implying that the expected palaeoclimate record from the ice core could extend back 〉800 kyr.

    Description: In the last few years subglacial lakes have been of great interest to the scientific community for various reasons. The lakes could be an unknown extreme habitat, which have been isolated from the terrestrial biosphere for a long time. They may have formed before the ice sheet and could perhaps reveal environmental conditions prior to its formation. Lastly, they may play a role in the current dynamics of the ice sheet. Strong radar reflections from the base of the ice sheet can generally be ascribed to either water-saturated basal sediments or subglacial lakes (Oswald & Robin, 1973). Based on radar data alone, the identification of lakes is possible if other features are present: flat and quite horizontal reflectors with nearly constant echo intensity and sharp edges similar to the margins of a catchment basin (Siegert et al., 1996; Siegert & Ridley, 1998; German & Siegert, 1999; Siegert, 2000; Tabacco et al., 2002). Subglacial lakes can be expressed in the overlying ice sheet as extremely flat surfaces with respect to the surrounding slopes (Ridley et al., 1993; Kapitsa et &l996 ; Siegert & Ridley,1998; Tabacco et al., 2002). To date, about 70 lakes have been discovered in all of Antarctica (Siegert et al.,1996); 21 of these are located in the Dome C-Vostok region.

    Description: Abstract—Geophysical surveys have played a fundamental role in glaciology, climatology, and geology studies conducted at and around the site of the EPICA Dome C Ice Core (Antarctica). Analysis of radio-echo sounding (RES) data collected during the 2009 and 2011 Italian Antarctic Expeditions, in the immediate vicinity (2 km) of the Core site, reveals the presence of small-scale bedrock structures. Data acquired during the 2011 campaign, which applied the latest updates of our instrument, show double echoes from the ice bottom separated by very small time intervals. These reflections are distributed close to the topographic dome and do not always correspond to particular features of the bedrock structure, but instead may correspond to small-scale subglacial water storage. The unprecedented spatial resolution of the basal environment for Dome C from these recent surveys allows us to identify this and other features that have been missed by previous larger scale RES surveys of this area.

    Description: Talos Dome is an ice dome on the edge of the East Antarctic plateau; because accumulation is higher here than in other domes of East Antarctica, the ice preserves a good geochemical and palaeoclimatic record. A new map of the Talos Dome area locates the dome summit using the global positioning system (GPS) (72˚47’ 14’’S, 159˚04’ 2’’E; 2318.5m elevation (WGS84)). A surface strain network of nine stakes was measured using GPS. Data indicate that the stake closest to the summit moves south-southeast at a few cma–1. The other stakes, located 8 km away, move up to 0.33ma–1. Airborne radar measurements indicate that the bedrock at the Talos Dome summit is about 400m in elevation, and that it is covered by about 1900m of ice. Snow radar and GPS surveys show that internal layering is continuous and horizontal in the summit area (15 km radius). The depth distribution analysis of snow radar layers reveals that accumulation decreases downwind of the dome (north-northeast) and increases upwind (south-southwest). The palaeomorphology of the dome has changed during the past 500 years, probably due to variation in spatial distribution of snow accumulation, driven by wind sublimation. In order to calculate a preliminary age vs depth profile for Talos Dome, a simple one-dimensional steady-state model was formulated. This model predicts that the ice 100m above the bedrock may cover one glacial–interglacial period.
