Winter has come to Tarfala meteorologically www.svt.se/nyheter/sapm.... This often means irregular transmission from our #TimeLapseCamera at #LakeTarfala. Ice-on happened between 7 and 22 october, the "normal range" bolin.su.se/data/tarfala... @bolincentre.bsky.social @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

Correction: the record minus year was 2024, not 2022. Should also be corrected now at SverigesRadio's site. And Time Lapse Camera imagery from 30 minutes ago shows snow in the Tarfala Valley :) @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social

First nightfrost, followed by a beautiful sunny morning, captured by our Time Lapse Camera at #LakeTarfala. These are the last days before closing the station @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social after more than 3 months of 24/7 operation👍 #glacier #massbalance results to come soon!

After hot and dry came wet .. And Lillsjön, the little lake, became Storsjön, the large lake...Now we are back to "normal" (that is, Lillsjön is small again), but what is "normal"?
In any case, today, we welcome course GE5003 @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social, for a 10-days stay!

This morning, we could observe a wolverine. Hard to spot against the rocks, but there are snowfields that still haven't melted away making it easier to spot 😀 @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social More fieldwork today recovering data from the #PACE site at #TarfalaRidge. Pics to come

We are hosting guest researchers from the University of #Bristol through a #POLARIN grant #polar #microbiology. Yesterdays pre-field work reconnaissance hike to #Storglaciären showed an essentially still fully snowcovered #glacier. But melt is on the way - no more snow-shoveling around the station 😀
