S o m e variations in the accumulation/ablation pattern over shelf ice are noticed during 1999 austral summer. A near steady state of recession of the snout of Dakshin Gangotri Glacier is indicated. The monitoring of icebergs in Southern Ocean was carried out between 45? and 70? south latitude on way to Antarctica and also during return voyage. T h e observations revealed that the maximum concentration of icebergs lies in two distinct zones separated by a less frequented area. 1. Monitoring of icebergs during onward and return journey. 2. Accumulation on the ice shelf through a network of stakes. 3. Glaciological studies along the shelf margin. 4. Monitoring of snout of Dakshin Gangotri glacier.
