Abstract :
Grove Mountains locates to the southwest of Princess Elizabeth Land, inland areas of east Antarctica. Field Work in Grove Mountains is very difficult. Interferometric SAR is a powerful tool in DEM generation, vertical change detection and determining the velocities and directions of ice streams. After the field GPS/RTK surveying work in Grove Mountains during the 1999/2000 summer season, we got the topographical map. Further research about Grove Mountains is ongoing. With the tandem radar image of ERS-1/2 in 1996.2, we generated DEM of this region.
