Abstract

During 1991 and 1992 the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) was observer on behalf of the Danish Polar Center in and preparation of a common Nordic research effort in Antarctica. The Nordic Antarctic Research Programme (NARP) involves Norway, Sweden and Finland, which are all Antarctic Treaty Consultative Partners, whereas Denmark is an observer. A natural continuation of this work was Danish participation in the Antarctic research, and a GGU glaciologist took part in the Norwegian Antarctic Research Expedition (NARE) 1992/93 arranged by the Norwegian Polar Research Institute.

Highlights

  • During 1991 and 1992 the Geological Survey of Green- data spanning back c. 150 000 years can be retrieved from land (GGU) was observer on behalf of the Danish Polar surface ice at ice margin locations (Reeh et al, 1991)

  • The blue ice areas have a pothe form of stable isotope studies on blue ice areas near the tential for palaeoclimatic studies, as old ice might emerge

  • Tered ice samples from blue ice areas in the Transantarctic the GGU glaciologist took part in two Norwegian glacio- Mountains indicate that data on the ice source areas and logical programmes, concerning the mass balance and palaeoclimate can be retrieved from the surface ice (Faure, dynamics of Jutulstraumen ice stream in Dronning Maud 1990; Grootes, 1990) in the same way as from the ablation
