Glaciology is traditionally a male dominated field, however the glaciologists participating in the expedition to the Fimbul Ice Shelf are all women.
Glasiologi er tradisjonelt et mannsdominert fagfelt, men alle glasiologene som reiser til Fimbulisen i høst er kvinner.
The glaciologists on The Fimbul Ice Shelf are Anna Sinisalo (to the left), Kirsty Langley (in the back), Elisabeth Isaksson (in the front) and Helgard Anschütz (to the right).

Four glaciologists participate in the expedition, all of them women.
På ekspedisjonen deltar fire glasiologer.
This is quite special as glaciology traditionally is a man dominated research field.
Alle glasiologene er kvinner, noe som er spesielt fordi glasiologi tradisjonelt har vært et mannsdominert forskningsfelt.
The situation that the glaciology group consists of only women is likely both a coincidence and a result that girls during the last ten years have chosen to study more untraditional subjects in high schools and at universities, according to the project leader of the glaciologists, Elisabeth Isaksson.
– At det bare er damer i glasiologigruppa er nok både et sammentreff og et resultat av at flere jenter de siste tiårene har valgt å studere mer utradisjonelle fag på videregående og universitet, mener prosjektleder for glasiologene, Elisabeth Isaksson.
She is senior researcher at The Norwegian Polar Institute.
Hun arbeider til daglig som seniorforsker ved Norsk Polarinstitutt.
The ice- and snow specimens will be taken back to Tromsø where they will be analyzed in the laboratory.
Der vil prøvene bli analysert i labaratorium.
All the four glaciologists have been in Antarctica before.
De fire glasiologene har alle vært i Antarktis tidligere.
The most experienced Antarctica traveller is Helgard who spent a winter at the German station Neumayer in Dronning Maud Land.
Den mest erfarne Antarktisfareren er Helgard som har overvintret på den tyske stasjonen Neumayer i Dronning Maud Land.

Two containers full of equipment is sent to the Troll station in Antarctica.
To containere fulle av utstyr er sendt til Troll-stasjonen i Antarktis.
For two months we have been working intensively testing and packing the equipment for the expedition to the Fimbul Ice Shelf next year.
I to måneder har vi jobbet intenst med å pakke og teste utstyr til neste års ekspedisjon til Fimbulisen.

The main focus has been on the hot water drilling equipment to be used for drilling holes in the ice shelf.
Hovedfokus har vært smeltebore-utstyret som vi skal bruke til å bore hull i isbremmen, Fimbulisen.
This equipment has been borrowed from British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
Dette utstyret er lånt fra British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
Two scientists from BAS, Keith Nicholls and Keith Makinson, have extended experience using this equipment and they have been in Tromsø to share their experience with us.
To forskere fra BAS, Keith Nicholls og Keith Makinson, har lang erfaring i bruk av dette utstyret og de har vært i Tromsø for å dele av sine erfaringer med oss.
The equipment will be shipped to Antarctica waiting for us at the Troll station for a year.
Utstyret skal sendes med båt til Antarktis og vente på oss på Troll stasjonen i et år.
There are lots of details to remember and it is important that nothing is forgotten.
Det er mange detaljer og huske på og det er viktig at ingenting blir glemt.
Today the containers with the 12 tons of equipment were sent to the south.
I dag ble to containere med tilsammen 12 tonn utstyr sendt sydover.

The iceberg B15K, which is part of the huge iceberg B15 that broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf in April 2000, is about to collide with Trolltunga.
Isfjellet B15K, en del av det store isfjellet B15 som brakk av fra Ross isbremmen i april 2000, er i ferd med å kollidere med Trolltunga.

In April 2000 the huge iceberg called B15 broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf.
I April 2000 kalvet et enormt isfjell kalt B15 av fra Ross isbremmen.
B15 was grounded in the Ross Sea for some years and broke in several parts.
B15 lå lenge på grunn i Rosshavet og delte seg etter hvert opp i flere deler.
B15K broke off from B15 in December 2003, while they were still in the Ross Sea.
B15K brakk av fra B15 i desember 2003, mens de enda befant seg i Rosshavet.
Since then B15K has drifted half way around Antarctica, and the satellite image to the right shows the iceberg about to collide with Trolltunga a few days ago.
Siden den gang har B15K drevet halvveis rundt Antarktis og satelittbildet til høyre viser B15K rett øst for Trolltunga for et par dager siden.
That icebergs collide with Trolltunga is not unusual.
At isfjell kolliderer med Trolltunga er ingen uvanlig hendelse.
These collisions involves large forces.
Store krefter er i sving under disse kollisjonene.
It is important to optimize our driving both to minimize the distance we travel and to avoid dangerous areas where there might be crevasses.
Dette er viktig både for å minimere avstandene vi kjører og for å unngå farlige områder hvor det kan være bresprekker.
Since we are working in an area which is relatively little known and remote the best tool we have for this job is satellite imagery.
Da vi jobber i områder som er relativt øde og lite kjent, så er satellittbilder det beste verktøyet vi har.
Through our project partner Angelika Humbert from the University of Muenster in Germany we have been able to access images from the recently launched TerraSAR-X satellite.
Gjennom vår samarbeidspartner Angelika Humbert ved Universitetet i Muenster i Tyskland har vi fått tilgang til bilder fra den nylig oppskutte satellitten TerraSAR-X.
This satellite takes Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images.
Denne satellitten tar radarbilder med en radar som kalles Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).
Angelika has downloaded several images that cover our project area and put them together in a mosaic that you can see below.
Angelika har lastet ned mange bilder som dekker vårt operasjonsområde og satt dem sammen i en bildemosaikk over Fimbulisen.
An image with large enough resolution to show many details of the surface of the ice can be downloaded here.

Today the expedition arrived at the site M1, where the first hole will be drilled through the ice shelf.
I dag kom ekspedisjonen fram til M1, der det første hullet skal smeltebores.
The trip here was challenging.
Turen hit var strabasiøs.

For four days, the expedition was slowly making its way though Jutulstraumen, from points F5-F17 along our pre-planned route.
I fire dager har ICE-Fimbulisen-ekspedisjonen sakte, men sikkert tatt seg inn på Jutulstraumen, fra punktet F5 til F17 på kjøreruta.
This part of the route runs takes us along a narrow passage between the crevassed margin of Jutulstraumen and an ice rise to our east.
Denne delen av ruta går gjennom en smal passasje mellom sidekanten på Jutulstraumen i vest og iskollen i øst.
Satellite photos show the area is filled with crevasses; the radar "sniffer" mounted ahead of the first vehicle confirms this.
Satelittbilder viser at dette er områder med bresprekker, og radaren som kjører først i vogntoget har bekreftet det.
Therefore, the pace had to be reduced.
Derfor ble tempoet satt ned.
Before each stage, the lead vehicle has to do a reconnaissance with the radar to find the safest route, so that the rest of the train can follow behind.
Før hver etappe ble det kjørt rekognonsering med radaren for å finne en trygg rute uten sprekker der vogntoget kunne følge på.
Good visibility is also a prerequisite for driving, since crevasse detection is based on surface cues as well as the radar.
God sikt var også en forutsetning for å kjøre.
We have daily contact with a meteorologist at the German station Neumaier, to make sure we have good weather for the following day's driving.
Det er daglig kontakt med meteorologen på den tyske stasjonen Neumaier.
At F11 one of the sled runners went into a narrow, longitudinal crevasse, not far from the nearby ice rise.
Ved F11 kjørte en slede meiene ned i en smal, langsgående sprekk ikke langt fra en mindre iskolle.
The sled had to unloaded, pulled out, and then loaded up again, in a safe and secure manner.
Sleden ble losset, dratt opp og lastet igjen på en trygg og sikker måte.
All this takes time!
Og dette tar tid.
However, this part of the trip has demonstrated that our security program is going as it should.
De siste dagene har framfor alt vist at sikkerhetsopplegget fungerer som det skal.
Those who have the responsibility for safety have had a hard few days, and have shown that they can do their job.
De som har spesielt ansvar for dette, har hatt en stri tørn og vist at de kan jobben sin.
Now they get a chance to rest a little at M1, before the glaciologists go out on their first side-traverse.
Nå får de sjansen til å hvile ut litt på M1, før glasiologene drar ut på sin første travers.

The measurements that was done the borehole through the Fimbul Ice Shelf last Sunday shows that the water under the ice shelf is very close to the freezing point.
Målingene ICE-Fimbulisen-ekspedisjonen gjorde søndag, viser at alt vannet under isen ligger veldig nær frysepunktet.
The relatively warm deep water found over the continental slope does not seem to penetrate into the cavity beneath the ice shelf.
Ingenting tyder på at det relativt varmere dypvannslaget klarer å trenge direkte inn under isen.
Ole Anders Nøst attaches temperature sensors to the cable as it is lowered into the borehole.

This situation seems to be stable, suggesting that the melting under the ice shelf does not increase.
Alt tyder på at denne situasjonen er stabil, at ikke smeltingen under denne isbremmen øker.
This also indicates that the existing models for exchange between the ice shelf cavity and the open should be improved.
Dette betyr at de modellene som hittil er laget for utveksling mellom isbremmen og dyphavet, må korrigeres.
We observed a roughly 50 meter deep layer of water with temperatures very close to the freezing point, about -2.05 degrees, just beneath the ice shelf.
– Vi målte et vannsjikt med vann på frysepunktet, rundt -2 grader, i underkant av isbremmen.
The highest observed temperature was about -1.83 degrees close to the bottom.
Den høyeste temperaturen vi observerte under borehullet var -1.83 grader.
We collected three profiles from the underside of the ice to the seabed at 653 meters below sealevel.
– Vi fikk tre profiler fra underkanten av isen ned til 653 meter under havnivået.
No trace of the relatively warm deep water that upwells over the continental slope was found.
Vi fant ingen direkte spor av det relativt varmere dypvannet som trykker på fra Atlanterhavet.
It will be exciting to see if this is the situation all year round, says Ole Anders Nøst.
Det blir spennende å se framover om dette er situasjonen hele året rundt, sier Nøst.
It was Sunday December 6th that the Fimbul expedition from the Norwegian Polar Institute hot water drilled their first hole in the Fimbul Ice Shelf, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica.
Det var søndag 6. desember at ICE-Fimbulisen-ekspedisjonen fra Norsk Polarinstitutt smelteboret det første hullet ute på Fimbulisen i Dronning Maud Land, Antarktis.

In our case that is ice floes and water, and if the satellite is accurate enough it will then find the altitude difference between the two, that is, the sea ice freeboard.
