TerraSAR-X SAR data for classification of ice-free areas and glacier facies on Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica by ANDRÉ M. DE ANDRADE, ROBERTO F.M. MICHEL, KÁTIA K. DA ROSA, ULISSES F. BREMER, CARLOS ERNESTO G.R. SCHAEFER, JEFFERSON C. SIMÕES

“…The classification considered three classes on the glacier (higher moisture, transition in moisture, and lower moisture) and three on the ice-free areas (wet snow, transition wet snow-bare ice, and bare ice), using Maximum Likelihood and ISODATA methods. In low-altitude glaciers with maritime influence, such as Collins, monitoring variations in surface zones is essential because the continuous increase in exposed ice may indicate potential retreat. …”
