ENIGMA: modelling of Boulder Clay Glacier (Northern Foothills) and initiation of biological and biogeochemical studies of its glacial lakes
The Boulder Clay (BC) glacier and the surrounding area, partially covered by rock, ice and moraines, are considered by structure and morphology suitable to host a helicopter runway that would support the work efficiency of "Mario Zucchelli" Station and other international operational bases nearby. Actually the quasi-imperceptible slope of the bottom and the rocky containment walls make that area stable and easy to be converted.
