Abstract:

The colorful satellite image maps with the scale of 1:100 000 were made by processing the parameters-on-satellite under the condition of no data of field surveying. The purpose is to ensure the smooth performance of the choice of expedition route, navigation and research task before the Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE) first made researches on the Grove Mountains. Moreover, on the basis of the visual interpretation of the satellite image, we preliminarily analyze and discuss the relief and landform, blue ice and meteorite distribution characterstics in the Grove Mountains.

Key words: Grove Mountains, parameters-on-satellite, satellite image, digital mapping, blue ice, meteorites distribution
