    Dataset contains snowpack density derived from shallow snow cores. Fieldwork has been done during peak of accumulation on several glaciers in the region of Hornsund, Svalbard: Amundsenisen (2013) Werenskioldbreen (2013, 2015) Nannbreen (2013) Flatbreen (2013, 2018) Storbreen (2013, 2018) Results might be valuable i.a. for mass-balance estimations or GPR survey validation.
