IMHO anyone who visits Svalbard should, if possible and subject to the pack ice, visit this location.
This is shot from the deck of the wheelhouse, sadly I have nothing to provide scale to the scene. I just love the 'graphic lines' look and feel to the glacier, carved by the wind and it's own 'carving'. As we quietly sailed by, you could here the creeks and groans and occasionally see it carve.
Thanks to those who viewed or posted a comment on the previous thread.Austfonna has a thickness of up to 560 metres (235 meters average thickness), and is 200 km in circumference. The ice dome reaches an elevation of 783 meters above sea level.
