Katrin Lindbäck, a researcher at Mid Sweden University, is taking part in the iQ2300 2025/26 expedition to investigate how meltwater is stored in Antarctic ice—both within the snow and in lakes on the surface—and what this means for the ice’s stability. Using radar and sensors, she aims to understand how hidden water reservoirs can influence crevasse formation, ice dynamics and the risk of collapse, with consequences for future sea levels.
