Short summary
We quantify the surface evolution of an Antarctic blue-ice moraine complex over 1- and 12-month intervals using repeat terrestrial laser scanning and structure-from-motion photogrammetry. We find net uplift and lateral movement of moraines within a field season (mean uplift ~ 0.10 m) and local surface lowering of a similar magnitude. Net uplift across the site between seasons was 0.07 m. Such data offer new opportunities to understand linkages between surface ablation, ice flow and debris supply within moraines.
