Sea ice is an important parameter in the climate system and its changes impact upon the polar albedo and at- mospheric and oceanic circulation. Iodine (I) and bromine (Br) have been measured in a shallow firn core drilled at the summit of the Holtedahlfonna glacier (Northwest Spitsber- gen, Svalbard...
