Baldwin Valley Glacier S77°19.836′, E162°32.019′

Two firn cores have been recovered from Baldwin Glacier (12.2m and 31.1m). While the 12.2m core has been used to establish a density record, the longer core has been taken to NZ and USA for further analyses. A snow profile from 0 – 1.8m has been cut, visually logged and the density measured. Samples for iso-topic measurements and chemistry have been taken.

The mean annual air temperature was calculated to be −23°C by measuring borehole temperatures. Investigations of the vicinity of the drilling site gave insides of the ice flow structures and catchment characteristics.
