Distinct layers of firn were observed to the south, where the icecap ends in a small cliff of 19 m in height. Most of the island is covered by an icecap that rises to 35 m above sea level, as determined by airborne laser scanning. All of them are located along the crest of the icecap. They noted a strongly bisected coastline, with inlets reaching towards the icecap, and numerous meltwater lakes, often without apparent external discharge. There is widespread evidence from terrestrial samples of ice and snow, including icecap cores that contain organic compounds. Their results confirmed from space the 2001 airborne measurements of an icecap up to 35 m high, and an island of 2 km extent. During this visit it became clear that there was only one island, not a group of islets, and that the icecap was higher than previously estimated.
