Ice instruments — at an ice core research station in the middle of the Greenland ice sheet 🇬🇱🧊

The remains of an ice instrument in the EGRIP ‘concert hall’. In 2018, a beautiful concert in the trench, a snow tunnel made for the purpose. Some of the ice instruments made for the concert are still present in the tunnel, although they are slightly degraded after four years.
