Optical televiewer luminosity logs are compared with densities measured gravimetrically on 520 snow, firn and ice samples from two locations of similar annual temperature (~-14 °C) and contrasting accumulation rates (0.23 and 0.43 m w.e. per year) on the Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, Antarctica. At the sc...
