Environment
9 km of DAS cable from the Hornsund stations (0m elevation) up to the Hansbreen (200m elevation). The line on the map provides a simplified representation of the real cable geometry.
In addition 44 geophones (SmartSolo, Digos data cubes) have been installed nearby the Hornsund station and on Hansbreen.

Project and installation were made in collaboration among the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IG PAS), University of Tromsø and NORSAR.
