商品説明
Embark on the Katla Glacier Dead Ice Mapping Expedition and become a Civilian Scientist for a day in Iceland's breathtaking Katla Geopark. Engage in real scientific research and contribute to vital glaciology research while exploring the dynamic landscapes of the Katla Glacier.
Meet your guide and receive hands-on training on using specialized equipment, including GPS, drone, and ground camera, to measure and document ice feature dimensions and map dead ice areas. Participate in meaningful data collection by measuring and documenting the evolving ice features and dead ice zones of the Katla Glacier.
Explore the heart of the Katla Glacier outlet to discover and measure natural ice formations. Learn about their creation and what they reveal about the glacier's movement and health. Analyze areas where the glacier is retreating, leaving behind isolated blocks of ice.
Immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the Katla Glacier and the surrounding Mýrdalsjökull ice cap, with panoramic views of Iceland's rugged highland landscape. Contribute to critical scientific research aimed at understanding and mitigating the effects of climate change on Iceland's glaciers.
Receive a 'Citizen Scientist" Certificate from Katla Geopark. Get your processed results emailed to you weeks after the tour. Also, your name will be published in a Katla Geopark Report in which you will also receive ongoing data updates via email.
