IceCon: Constraining Ice Mass Change in Antarctica
IceCon aims to gain a better understanding of the rate of the loss of ice – now and in the past - from the Antarctic ice sheet in the Dronning Maud Land area.
Princess Elisabeth, like all stations in Antarctica, is a scientific research facility. In this section, you will find a short presentation of all science projects conducted at the station.
