Prosjektet vårt har funnet at snøtettheten kan være svært variabel på iskoller. I år borer vi en kort snøkjerne (3 m) og måler tettheten på ulike dybder.

(EN) We placed stakes in the snow last season and left them there for one year. The height difference of these stakes can tell us how much snow has accumulated, but only if we know the density of the snow.
Our project found that the snow density can be highly variable on ice rises. This year we are drilling a short snow core (3 m) and measuring the density at different depths.
