Variabilities in the spectral and total (between 300-3000 nm) albedo of snow were studied in the Dronning Maud Land region of Antarctica during the austral summers of 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. The measurement area consisted of a traverse going inland from the coast via the Finnish Antarctic research...
