I’ve just stumbled across this old article about some work I did in Iceland with Alex Clayton as part of his PhD research into glacial movement and modelling. We had a great time and got some good work done – so much so we went back a year later (with assistance in the field from outdoor instructor James O’Dwyer) and did a load more survey of the forelands in some challenging conditions. Alex has put some clips of our takeoffs and landings (some better than others) on his Youtube channel, and I’ve put an example of the kind of topographic model we produced below (first expedition), along with a couple of photos from the second expedition.
