FRIPRO-Fri prosjektstøtte

Characterizing Oldest Ice in Dome Fuji near the base of the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Antarktisisen er omtrent som en sirkel på 4500 km i diameter, og dens sentrale del stiger nesten 4 km over havoverflaten. Årlig lufttemperatur i det indre Antarktis er rundt -50°C, slik at alt snøfall forblir frossent. Når ny snø legger seg på toppen, så presses eldre snø nedover og blir til is. ...
