Summary:
The extent of ice during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was investigated by Dr. Prentice and his team. 
There is uncertainty in the size of local lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys during and after the LGM. By using 
ground penetrating radar and analysis of former deltas I-133 wants to help constrain the size of the lakes. 
UNAVCO provided two GPS receivers, ancillary equipment, software and pre-field training to I-133. An additional 
GPS receiver was maintained at a benchmark near Lake Hoare as a back-up base station, since I-133 was using a 
temporary benchmark near their camp.
