Abstract

As the polar region has attracted growing attention around the world, field expeditions to Antarctica have become increasingly frequent. To provide take-off and landing capabilities for the wheeled aircraft of Chinese Antarctic Research Expeditions (CHINAREs), we use multi-mission and multitemporal remote sensing data to analyse the feasibility of blue ice airfield selection near Zhongshan Station, East Antarctica, and recommended two top-ranked runway candidates. This airfield selection method may be applied to other areas of Antarctica as well as Greenland and Arctic regions.
