Knowledge of the surface topography of the Antarctic is very important because it is used as input to estimate the surface temperature, precipitation and katabatic wind intensity and direction (Marsiat and Bamber, 1997). Elevation data can be used to determine the locations of ice divides, drainage basins and ice-flow directions (Drewry, 1983). In addition, together with ice-thickness data, driving stress, deformational velocity and subsurface and basal conditions may be inferred (Bamber and Bindschadler, 1997). Ice flows very slowly in the flat, inland polar summit regions, and thus the dynamics are difficult to measure. The surface and bed topography at Dome Concordia, Antarctica, (Dome C; Tabacco and others, 1998; Capra and others, 2000; Rémy and Tabacco, 2000), Dome Fuji, Antarctica, (Dome-F Deep Coring Group, 1998) and the summit of Greenland (Hodge and others, 1990; Hvidberg and others, 1997) have been determined in recent years. So far, however, little has been published on the surface topography at Dome Argus (Dome A), Antarctica. Dome A, the highest ice feature in Antarctica at just over 4000m elevation, is located near the centre of East Antarctica. Details of its morphology were first determined by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)–US National Science Foundation (NSF)–Technical University of Denmark (TUD) airborne radio-echosounding program, 1967–79. As a contribution to the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE), Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE) glaciological studies were conducted along a traverse line from Zhongshan station to Dome A during the austral summers from 1996/97 (13th CHINARE) to 2004/05 (21st CHINARE) (Qin and others, 2000, 2004; Xiao and others, 2001, 2004; Zhang and others, 2002; Ren and others, 2004). During the 21st CHINARE, more than 20 global positioning system (GPS) sites were established at approximately 50 km intervals along the 1228 km traverse route, to monitor the surface ice velocity, which will be reported elsewhere. Here, we present the surface topography of the summit of Dome A measured by real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS, a tool that is well suited to surface topography measurements in the interior of the Antarctic as it allows high-precision measurements to be made relatively quickly and with minimum logistical support. Based on an estimate of the summit position from the topography around Dome A, obtained from the RADARSAT-1 Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP) digital elevation model (Liu and others, 1999), a survey was carried out during 9–11 January 2005 using a total station to obtain a second estimate of the summit position. A camp was set up at this new position which was established as a reference station, initially occupied by a GPS receiver for 36 hours. The location of the reference station was calculated using Leica Geo Office (LGO) V1.0 point positioning software. The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) ellipsoid coordinates were 80822001.6288800 S, 77822022.9026900 E, 4092.457m. Two Leica SR530 dual-frequency GPS receivers were used for the kinematic survey. A rover receiver was installed on an over-snow vehicle. The survey was carried out on a ‘star’ grid, centered on the camp, with a radius of 4–5 km. The sampling space was 200m. The speed of the vehicle ranged from 4 to 8 kmh. After 5 days of fieldwork, more than 1000 points had been surveyed. GPS data were processed using GAMIT/GLOBK software (King, 2002).
