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

And here comes the snow ❄️ Summer is indeed short, on June 14th the twin cabins were STILL in snow (picture to the right) 😀But there WAS summer in between! Last post from the station @stockholm-uni.bsky.social@bolincentre.bsky.social tomorrow :)
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!
This year's measurement of Kebnekaise's southern peak by @tarfalaresstation.bsky.social shows that the peak has decreased by 1.5 metres compared to last year. This is the seventh year in a row that Kebnekaise´s southern peak is lower than the northern peak. #Climate#Arctic www.su.se/english/news...
Tarfala Research Station's 80 yrs Anniversary conference concluded with an excursion to #Storglaciären and lots of discussions with international guests from US, Spain, Switzerland #WGMS as well as from #SwedishPolarResearch. Thank you all and @stockholm-uni.bsky.social@bolincentre.bsky.social
Course GE5003 on #glaciers#alpine and #polar environments from @stockholmuni.bsky.social@bolincentre.bsky.social is leaving today, after experiencing #Storglaciären and the first snow of the season on the mountain tops in the #Tarfala Valley first hand. THANK YOU for having been great students!
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!
July was warm. Here are #warmingstripes@edhawkins.org showing average july temperature at #TarfalaResearchStation@stockholmuni.bsky.social@bolincentre.bsky.social. One definition of the Arctic is that July temps stay below 10 C - according to this, we are not in the Arctic...But we are...
Our new outdoor-info point @stockholm-uni.bsky.social@bolincentre.bsky.social is in the making! Now hikers on their way to #STF#tourist can read about the station and what kind of research is done. And #OpenHouse days with #STF#Kebnekaise continue throughout the summer as part of our #outreach👍
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
