ABSTRACTIn the rapidly warming circumpolar Arctic, recent research of lakes has focused on their climatology and ecology but is challenged by sparsity of wintertime data. At the c. 48-m-deep and c. 0.5-km2 large proglacial Darfáljávri (Lake Tarfala), located in an arctic–alpine environment in the Sc...
