As part of a larger glaciological survey at Store Glacier, a large tide water glacier Uummannaq fjord, we collected a 2 km and 1.5 km continuous profile line 30 km upstream from the calving front.

It was inaccessible for a snow mobile so we man hauled a 300 m, 96 channel snow streamer. As source we used 400 g dynamite cartridges drilled in 2 m deep boreholes. Our purpose was to characterize the sub-glacial conditions.
We collected:
