This blog tells the story of Fjord (NOT Rudolph!!) - a little reindeer going to Svalbard with 3 scientists to study glaciers. The team will be in Ny Ålesund for three weeks in July and August. To find out where Svalbard is, what research the scientists are doing, how Arctic fieldwork is conducted, and to ask Fjord and the scientists questions, just have a poke around the site!

Photo 1 Revealed

It's a small glacier, up in a side valley which used to be connected to the main body of the glacier we're working on. Many of the dark lines we see here are layers (a bit like tree rings) formed each year by alternating snow in the winter (now ice) and dust blown in during the summer.
