Professor Doug Benn of the University of St Andrews has recently received the Seligman Crystal - the senior award of the International Glaciological Society for making an outstanding contribution to our understanding of glacier behaviour. In this talk, Doug will recount his experiences of exploring ice caves inside Arctic and Himalayan glaciers, discuss the technical challenges of moving safely through these unstable systems, and explain how knowledge of glacier caves can help us understand how glaciers are adjusting to climate change.
