To better understand the near‐surface evolution of polar firn in low accumulation areas (<30 mm w.e. yr −1 ), we investigated the physical properties: density, microstructural anisotropy of ice matrix and pore space, and specific surface area (SSA), of six firn cores collected within 60 km around...
