Ice samples (1-2 kg) from small icebergs floating in the fjord were collected and returned to the laboratoryin insulated plastic boxes, rinsed with ultra-pure laboratory water and melted in low-density polyethylene bags. The first melt water was discarded, whereas the remaining freshwater was subsampled for the determination of chemical parameters.
