During this expedition we were performing shallow coring and depth
soundings

1993/94
During this expedition we were performing a full ITASE programme which from our part meant shallow coring and snow radar measurements. Snow radar measurements were performed between all core sites.

1996/97
This was a collaboration between Norway, Sweden and Holland and
it was organised by the Norwegians.
1997/98
This year we did medium long coring and snow radar soundings. At
the drill sites we did shallow coring and temperature measurements
in a net. Weather stations were erected at the drill sites. Snow
radar soundings were performed along all traverse routes.
