We present preliminary results from the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystems eXperiment, SIPEX-2, that will be used for the calibration of Cryosat-2 sea ice products in East Antarctica. We encountered difficult sea ice conditions with sea ice thickness exceeding 5 m over large areas, due to highly deformed sea ice floes consisting of many unconsolidated blocks. In addition, snow load on top the sea ice ranged between 0.5 m and 1m in general, with negative sea ice freeboard common in the study area. The data collected during the expedition are currently being analysed and will be made available for
