Presented study gives an insight into general proportions of the actual geomorphology, subglacial morphology and thickness of the drift (quaternary sediments) particularly well-pronounced glacial morphology in the Tatras and, on the other hand, the general scarcity of the data in this field. Objectives of the geophysical survey in this study were imaging of the morphology of bedrock surface under the drift (glacial and postglacial) sediments and determination of thickness of the drift and its composition. Two methods were applied: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and seismic refraction profiling. GPR was used to examine drift sediments due to its high resolution and low depth of penetration. Seismic method with lower resolution but higher penetration depth gave an image of boundary between bedrock and drift. In addition, the results of seismic tomography allowed the velocity field imaging which shows changes inside the postglacial deposits. The results of the two methods used in this research suggest that points of depression exist in the subglacial morphology with a depth of about c.a. 40 below the present-day terrain surface and c.a. 25 m below surrounding subglacial surface. This trough has also been estimated to be about 150 m wide. Its considerable depth and steep slopes show that its origin can be related to erosion of subglacial water during the decay of the last (Würm) glaciation of the Sucha Woda and Panszczyca valleys.
