Studying Ice: Meet Glaciologist Nina Kirchner

What is ice? And how can glaciologists read the inland ice sheet like a book to learn about the climates of the past? Listen to Glaciologist Nina Kirchner discussing ice knowledge and how to prepare for an expedition to the Arctic.

Nina Kirchner works as a glaciologist. She is also the Director of the Bolin Centre and Assistant Professor of Glaciology at Stockholm University. Kirchner studies ice in all of its naturally occurring forms. She has spent a considerable amount of time in Svalbard and taken part in research expeditions to both the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

The film is produced by Nordiska museet, and is shown in the exhibition "The Arctic – While the Ice Is Melting", a grand exhibition about life and changing conditions in the Arctic region.
