The Fen site had a flux tower in the middle of a fen -- a large boggy wetland. A boardwalk extends out into the middle of the fen, allowing access to plants and soils. There is a collapsed palsa (a pocket of ice covered by ground where the ice melted and the ground collapsed). This is filled with water and has an additional boardwalk in it for trace gas studies.
