We present an ice-penetrating radar data set acquired over the Greenland ice sheet by aircraft in the 1970's. The data set comprises over 177,000 km of flight lines. It contains a wealth of information on the state of the Greenland ice sheet including information on ice thickness and englacial properties. Field campaigns were conducted in 1971, 1972, 1974, 1978, and 1979, with data recorded on optical film rolls. The dataset includes information on flight lines, geographical coordinates, and scanned data availability. Digitization efforts involved scanning film rolls, resulting in high-resolution TIFF and lower-quality JPG formats. The digitized radargrams offer insights into ice properties and serve as a valuable historical record. For a full description of the data and how to use them please see: Karlsson, N.
