We spent the whole morning measuring discharge on Arie and Rev rivers. The second one is particularly interesting, flowing out of a large lake, so one would expect rather stable outflow with only minor fluctuations. I am already curious on the data from the level logger at the end of the season! We took last […]

Our work is going to be finished soon, we are just preparing all the samples and material for transport. We hope someone from the station will bring our dataloggers back from the field at the end of the season. And here come to the most interesting part of our stay – the station and its […]

These last days were really nice, the sun was shining literally 24/7 and we went to Ariebreen. The glacier has retreated pretty much in last decades and there is just a “leftover” of the former glacier. Thus, one must cross almost one kilometer over a moraine – not easy to walk on.
