| Abstract: | Presents results from 10 a of measurements made at this lake in south Victoria Land. Ice has been thinning at rate of >20 cm a⁻¹ for past decade, but seems to have stabilized recently at thickness of 3.3 m. Evidence suggests that peak summer temperatures have been <0°C for progressively longer period each year since 1972. Most plausible climate change capable of explaining thinning of ice is change in mean annual temperature of 2°C. Also considers changes in mechanism of mass loss from surface. |
