Short summary
We used radar to measure ice thickness in mountain glaciers, but signal scattering makes it challenging when the ice is temperate or warm. Radar surveys of Rutor Glacier were inaccurate, so we used computer models to estimate its thickness better. Comparing estimates from computer models with radar measurements gave us a more accurate map, revealing more ice than previously thought. This combined method can improve future ice surveys and planning.
