Our fieldwork on Quelccaya Ice Cap began in July 2003, as digital SLR cameras were becoming more-widely available, and a small number of images prior to 2010 are posted here. Starting in January 2011, images have been incorporated into the Quelccaya blog. The links below provide access to galleries created for a few of the individual Quelccaya expeditions, for fieldwork at the automated weather station (AWS) and on the glacier. Some of these require using Adobe Flash Player.

• May-June 2010 part I – servicing and raising the AWS, snowpit measurements
• May-June 2010 part II – traveling to Quelccaya, Moraine Camp, on the glacier
• May-June 2010 part III – discovery of meteorological instrumentation not seen since 1978

• July 2011 – expedition, start to finish

• July 2012 part I – traveling to Quelccaya, Moraine Camp, at the glacier margin
• July 2012 part II – AWS servicing and raising, snowpit measurements
• July 2012 part III – bird and nest observations

• Morojanicocha (April 2016) – proglacial lake where “Glacier Birds” are being studied (Morojanicocha, in Aymara meaning “lake in the place without vegetation”)
• Quelccaya western margin (Oct. 2014) – illustrates Quelccaya water resources, including “Morojanicocha”
• Qori Kalis (July 2012) – Quelccaya Ice Cap’s largest outlet glacier, documented since the 1980s by Lonnie Thompson et al. Note snapshots documenting accumulation stratigraphy.
