Virkisjökull Margin- sightseeing and sampling, Dr Jez Everest
The margin of the glacier has changed massively, even since our last visit in June this year. An entire englacial tunnel has collapsed, revealing the tunnel floor, now covered in outwash gravel. Precariously balanced blocks of ice overhang this somewhat eerie place, as Alan MacDonald collects samples of glacial ice to analyse for their isotopic content- a key to working out the transport time of ice in the glacier system.
