Follow the sequel of the first scientific Belgian Antarctic Research Expedition to the Princess Elisabeth Station in Antarctica. This is the BELISSIMA project (BELgium Ice-Sheet /Shelf-Ice Measurements in Antarctica).
From 16 November to 22 December 2010 we'll head south to the vicinity of the new Belgian Antarctic research station to pursue glaciological investigations of the transition between the ice sheet and the ice shelf, the so-called grounding line. This will help us to better understand the current mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet.
