A 3D-model of different geomorphological objects has become a more common way of portraying nature in recent years. Generating 3D-models of objects of this kind reveals different attributes such as spatial orientation, internal structures, and volume. The model gives its observer a unique opportunity to navigate around the spatial range, and even highlight certain areas of the case study for further scrutiny. The user is able to "peel" away the different layers and thereby be left with individual elements which would be otherwise difficult to obtain. This thesis shows how a model of this kind can be made using geophysical instruments as GPR (ground penetrating radar) and RTK (real time kinematic) GPS to perform different surveys for both the external and internal structures of the ice patch. This data will then be used for processing in ESRI's geographic information systems. The aim of this thesis is to focus attention on the workflow needed to develop a 3D-model; from fieldwork and processing, to results and visualization of the ice patch and its different layers in 3D.
