Geodesists on Tour: Gravity measurements on Antarctica

Jyri Näränen and edited by Rebekka Steffen August 10, 2021

Antarctica is well known for its large ice sheet, covering 98% of the continent. A large part of the ice sheet is losing mass leading to vertical and horizontal movements of the crust as well as changes of the gravitational attraction.
