Variations of snow quality and physical transformations were analysed against changes of atmospheric parameters, basing on water equivalent index and repeatable examination of snow pits. Essential dependence of snow cover distribution and snow structure from local climatic features and terrain morphology was found. Thawing occurs in the whole mass of snow, with its contribution of both liquid and gas water phases.}, type={Article}, title={Snow cover in the vicinity of Arctowski Station, King George Island, in winter 1991}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/110866/PDF/1997-1_003-014.pdf}, keywords={Antarctica, South Shetland Islands, snow cover}, }
