The 2025 edition of the scientific expedition to the Svalbard Islands finished!
On board the NATO research vessel Alliance, researchers from CNR-ISP (Bologna) and technicians from OGS (Trieste) completed their mission in the Fram Strait — a key location for monitoring climate change in the Arctic.

Site Rep #11 – Ollomont (AO), 24/05/2025
The team is pushing forward with ice coring. They've reached a depth of 30 meters – but the return of water in the new borehole slows progress. The wind picks up with force, threatening tents, while snow keeps piling up and weighing them down.

Today we reached the close off depth at around 28 metres, the point where snow and firn transitions to ice. We're now drilling ice that's saturated in water, causing the borehole to freeze up, complicating drilling conditions.
