With the aim of assessing the effect of the North Water polynya on the accumulation rates and the thermal regime of the ice masses on the surrounding land, firn samples were collected for 18O and T analyses and firn stratigraphy carried out in pits and on cores to depths of up to 25.6 m at six sites. The preliminary findings indicate that a combined application of the two techniques produces useful results in spite of the homogenizing effect of percolating meltwater in the lower accumulation zones.
