ABSTRACT GPR is applied to image subsurface structures below non‐sorted polygons in Kapp Linné, Svalbard, where ice and active‐layer soil wedges co‐exist within a small area. Two‐dimensional GPR images ice wedges as hyperbolic reflections extending down from the frost table. However, some ice‐wedge...
