John Moore - Glaciology and Paleoclimate Photo Gallery
Photos from the 2002 campagn on Lomonosovfonna
and from 2001
are available.
Ramac radar 50 MHz antennas and
with higher resolution
200 MHz antennas.
We also profiled numerous other smaller glaciers in the region such as
Tuvbreen.
The radar was very good in general, though of course there were
repairs
that
need doing as well - with always excellent help from the Poles, especially
Piotr Glowacki, and always with time for a nice beer with our
gallant
leader
.
Some pictures by the Poles
are
here.

An exciting moment for Anna on the ship,
but
a worrying one for me

Kristiina Virkkunen, Jari Vehviläinen and Teija Kekonen have spent
a lot of time working on processing ice samples for chemistry analysis.
Here is a few photos and descriptions of how they spend their fun hours.

up close and personal to the
glacier. Just
the attitude I like to ice.

a moulin in the glacier
- this was a nice glacier to get inside access.
A picture of me after emerging from the cave
- bloody caving!

winter in Korouma, 100 km east of Rovaniemi (I've got none of the climbing
photos here).

round crystals, sea ice are eleongated)

working at this point!) on Storglacieren,
