2017 Ablation Zone Photos
In July 2017 I spent 1 week at a field location in the ablation zone in the Issunguata Sermia catchment. This field site was where scientists from the University of Montana and University of Wyoming installed inclinometers and temperature sensors throughout the ice column in 9 boreholes. I helped to dismantle the field experiments and map the bed using ground penetrating radar.

Ilulissat
Ilulissat is Greenlandic for Icebergs, which is an appropriate name for the city given its proximity to the nearby Ilulissat Icefjord. I spent about a week and a half based out of Ilulissat before and after the 2019 field season in the accumulation zone. I spent as much time as possible hiking around the incredible fjord and sitting, watching, and listening to the sounds of the icebergs floating out to the Atlantic (so I apologize in advance for all of the pictures of icebergs, but I couldn't stop taking pictures).
