  Introduction to Ice-Penetrating Radar
  The ice-penetrating radar is a type of IPR suitable for polar regions, designed to support scientists in radio echo sounding of the cryosphere. The primary application of this system is to measure glacier ice. It can detect depths of several hundred meters in temperate/polythermal ice, and over a thousand meters in cold ice. If you are working on glaciers, for example, establishing a water resource model, this system is very well suited for the task.
  The Ice-Penetrating Radar Variant 2 is an upgraded version featuring a more powerful Embedded Processing Unit (EPU), equipped with a faster processor capable of resolving radar signals at higher resolution and across a wider bandwidth. It also includes a redesigned Nugen-type pulse generator and supports a range of different transmit and receive antennas. The antennas come with reinforced tubular protective covers, making them easy to use in open-field conditions and ensuring smooth operation on the ice surface. The system is suitable for use in skiing, hiking, and airborne surveys.
  The BSI Ice-Penetrating Radar from Canada is designed for use on glaciers, ice caps, and icefields. It has been used in Yukon (Canada), the USA, Iceland, Norway, Greenland, the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas. It also assisted scientists in studying ice shelves and glaciers in the Canadian Arctic and Iceland, and has been deployed in Antarctica since 2016.
