The state-of-art of research in the field of GPS-photogrammetry in Ukrainian Antarctic Vernadsky station area is considered in the paper. Recent observations of the small ice cap of Galindez Island show significant changes since the 1950s. The detailed geomorphology survey of the Galindez ice cap based on the GPS-photogrammetry was started in 2002. The precision GPS observations made by UAC enable to repeat the earliest BAS measurement of the Galindez ice cap fifty meters height contour, which were based on aerial photography and theodolite observations. The main objectives of the GPS-photogrammetry survey are producing the precision geodesic data for ice cap monitoring and the evolution model creation. The most recent photogrammetry survey shows the disappearance of the area enclosed by the 50 meters contour and significant recession in all directions. The present ice cap GPS-photogrammetry observations show a reduction in volume of around several percent of Galindez ice cap in eight years, suggesting that it could disappear within a century.
