Abstract
During a 2018 field campaign on Rhonegletscher, several hot water boreholes were drilled in order to provide direct observations into an active englacial conduit network. The presented video shows the borehole camera being lowered into the active englacial conduit. The camera is initially lowered into murky water before reaching the active conduit. Whilst positioned in the conduit the camera is violently shaken, as a result of flowing englacial water, and sediment is being transported along the base. Show more
