Kalle Laar

Vernagtferner, Oetztal Valley, Austria

The microphone you can call is placed at the gauging station run by the Commission for Glaciology of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The system is weather resistant, and the signal is transmitted by a mobile phone modem. The closest cellular phone network antenna is not within eyesight, cannot be reached directly and is across the border on the italian side. Although we have to take advantage of reflections, the transmission is nevertheless quite reliable.
