The main results of GPR sounding and ice core sampling carried out in the area of the Russian Mirny Station during the austral summer field season of 60th Russian Antarctic Expedition (2014/15) have been presented. The GPR data were collected at the frequencies of 270 MHz and 900 MHz. The total length of the profi les was 20 km. Five ice cores about 7 m long were selected. The upper part of the glacier was found to consist of a snow-firn layer and meteoric ice underneath. The effective permittivity values of the media were determined to be 2.13 and 3.0, accordingly. In the study area the snow-firn layer thickness varied between zero ("blue ice") and approximately 40 m.
