Field campaign at Grey Glacier in Patagonia 2018



This was our third field campaign in Glaciar Grey, a lake calving glacier in Chilean Patagonia. Our previous study indicated significant differecne between lake and ocean terminating calving glaciers, in terms of glacier front melting and calving. To furthering our understanding of the glacier-lake interaction, we measured water properties in Lago Grey in front of the glacier. Nothing is easy to work in Patagonia, but we got a great help from local collaboraors and concluded our project with a beautiful data set from instruments recovered from the lake.
