Dataset provides depth averaged density obtained from 3-m-deep shallow cores, drilled over 14 sites spread across Blåskimen Island ice rise in western Dronning Maud Land. This data is used for determining the spatial variability of surface density over the ice rise. It was collected during 2014 and...
