A Lambert Glacier - Amery Ice Shelf series of airborne (Squirrel helicopter and Twin Otter fixed wing) RES and surface elevation profiles were conducted over two summer seasons; 1988/89 and 1989/90. Altogether nearly 10,000 km of various flight paths were undertaken, operating out of Mawson (67.60 S, 62.88 E), Davis (68.58 S, 77.97 E), Dovers (70.22 S, 65.87 E) or Beaver Lake (70.80 S, 68.18 E). More information can be found at the BEDMAP website. The fields in this dataset are: mission_id (unique mission identifier) latitude (decimal degrees) longitude (decimal degrees) ice_thickness (m) surface_elevation (m) water_column_thickness (m) bed_elevation (m)
