Location map showing the Lake Untersee ice cover outline (orange line), the location of boreholes (BH) where water depth and ice thickness were measured (blue circle), the borehole locations used for backscatter time series analysis and where ice/water interface footage was captured (orange square), and the meteorological station in the Aurkjosen Valley just east of the lake (green triangle). The inset map shows the location of the Untersee Oasis relative to continent of Antarctica. Background is Sentinel-2 optical imagery acquired on 12 January 2018, courtesy of ESA Copernicus program.
