We report the results of a comparative analysis focusing on grain size, mineralogical composition and spectral reflectance values (400–2500 nm) of cryoconite samples collected from Jakobshavn Isbrae, West Greenland, and Canada Glacier, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. The samples from the Greenland...
