The publication is based on the research carried out at the Ukrainian Polar Station “Academic Vernadsky”, located in the Antarctic region at the Galindez Island. The article establishes rela- tionships between global climate change and changes occurring in the area of Galindez Island based on 3D models of the glacier surface. The article has two parts. The first one reviews soft- ware products (AutoCAD, ArcGIS, SketchUp, Digitals) used for three-dimensional surface modeling. We analyze their characteristics, and emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of each program for the purpose of terrestrial 3D modeling. In the second, experimental part of the research, we present 3D models of the glacier surface constructed using various software products. The result of the research presents the obtained model of Galindez Island including all relevant textures and buildings.
