Page 1: Marginal ice zone processes

British Antarctic Survey Twin Otter landing at one of four sea ice camps.

Page 2: Marginal ice zone processes

Light-weight mountaineering-style camp at instrument Cluster 3. Camps housed 2-6 people for short periods (1-2 days).

British Antarctic Survey Twin Otter preparing to take off from an ice camp.

Page 5: Marginal ice zone processes

Springtime deployment of an Ice Mass Balance Buoy, using helicopter support from a nearby MIZ ice camp.

Page 6: Marginal ice zone processes

Springtime deployment of an instruments cluster: (L to R) Ice Mass Balance Buoy, Wave Buoy (with two additional instruments lying on the lice near the helicopter) and

and Autonomous Weather Station.
