Live from Summit

Coldclimes

Not only about Summit, but follow along on the research adventures of glaciologist Bob Hawley. Not only one of Greenland's most knowledgeable researchers, but also a member of the initial winterover at Summit in 1997 - before the days of 'live from summit'. At that time, the winter deployment was nine months with a crew of four, and no internet or satellite phone!

Summit Greenland - Summer 2007

This is a blog by the scientists involved with the Greenland Halogen and Hydrogen Radical Photochemistry Experiment during the Summer of 2007. Another name for this study is SHOX for the Summit Halogen HOX experiment.

• Getting to Greenland

Videographers travel to Greenland enroute to Summit Station aboard the the 109th New York Air National Gaurd's (NYANG 109th) 'Hercules' LC-130. The NYANG 109th have the only 'Herc skibirds' in the world and provide all flight operation support for the Antarctic as well as in Greenland.

• Heading to Summit Station
Flying from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland up to Summit Station.
• Captain Jack and the Halogen Hunters (Part I)

Summit's most veteran research Jack Dibb describes the importance of research at Summit beginning with the collection of the GISPII ice core continuing through to the discovery of the reactive nature of snow.

• Captain Jack and the Halogen Hunters (Part II)

Watch and learn as the students and investigators discuss their individual research projects, which collectively are designed to determine what is producing unexpectedly high concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx) this far north in the Arctic.

Winter 2004 - 2005 (Temporarily Offline)

Toby and the Hot Sox provide updates and photographs from the midwinter '04/5 phase II season. In this collection there are photos of the crew of four dealing with Summit Station as it became completely buried... the following Spring the NSF provided funding to raise the station as it became clear it was no longer sustainable below snow grade.

Snow Photochemistry 2004

Jack Dibb's team provides frequent updates during the 2004 field season during a snow photochemistry experiment.

Snow Photochemistry 2003

The UC Davis team provides frequent updates during the 2003 field season during a snow photochemistry experiment.

Photos

There are numerous collections of photographs from Summit on the web. A few links are provided here.

Contributed Photos

Photographs contributed directly to the Science Coordination Office for distribution from this site.

Summit Camp Gallery

Pictures uploaded at the station directly. Caution, downloads are slow, but this is one of the best locations for a wide variety of pictures.

GEOSummit Photo Gallery (Temporarily Offline)

An older collection of photographs (<2003), but well sorted out and provided a wide variety of high quality images for unrestricted use.

Coastal Eddy's Photos

Ed Stockard, logistician extraordinare has been working for Veco Polar Resources from many years providing essential support to the operations at Summit. While there, he's had the time to collect some incredible photos from the coast. Highly recommended coastal photos of wildlife, icebergs, and more!

Reto Stöckli's Photos

Reto Stöckli visited Summit Camp in 2005. The photo album gives an insight into daily life on 3200m a.s.l.: 24 hour-per-day research activity under the arctic midnight sun, tasty food from the wonderful camp cooks and hard work of building the 50m high ETH micromet tower.
