Abstract: Geo-information TuPu is introduced to the eco-environment study of ice-free area in Antarctica. The article has taken the Fildes Peninsula as an example for case study and determined the TuPu unit by using of vector-grid mixed data model. The classified information of the environmental elements was effectively extracted and generalized by means of data mining. The paper built series of single-factor thematic information TuPu model and the landscape pattern comprehensive information TuPu model. The thematic information TuPu includes topography, soil, vegetation and human activities. The three-dimensional visualization of the genealogical models is designed. The spatial morphology and the spatial correlation of the regional eco-environment is revealed quantitatively. All these efforts may provide a new technical approach and scientific basis for the in-depth study of Antarctic eco-environment.

Key words: information TuPu, eco-environment, Antarctic ice-free areas, Fildes Peninsula
