Summary
Abstract: Snow pits 2007: the data from 2 snow pits (main summits of Vestfonna ice cap) include a description of snow physical properties (stratigraphy, density) and major ions chemistry.

Shallow ice cores 2007: the data from 2 ice cores drilled at the 2 main summits of Vestfonna ice cap include density and chemical measurements (major ions), and oxygen isotope composition of the ice.
