The construction of the regional altimetry-gravimetry quasigeoid is considered. This problem  was solved via the regional gravimetry quasigeoid transformation to the mean sea level given  by six satellite altimetry missions at time-period 1992-2007. Then the altimetry-gravimetry quasigeoid solution was selected for further computation of the gravity potential W0 for the Antarctic area. By this, a version of the vertical heights system in accordance with the gravity regional field is proposed.
