Maps are presented for the subglacial topography of Storglaciären, Isfallsglaciären and Rabots glaciär in northern Sweden. The maps are results of radio-echo soundings. Isfallsglaciären consists of one isolated basin above the ice fall uhereas
storglaciären is situated in a valley which is divided into three basins. No depressions were found in Rabots glaciär. The distribution with elevation was obtained for ice thickness, bedrock and ice surface areas, and ice volumes. Data for Storglaciären: area
A = 3.1 km, ice volume V = 306 10 m, average ice depth h = 99 m, maximum ice depth H = 250 m. Data for Isfallsglaciären: A = 1.3 km, V = 93 10 m, h = 72 m, ht = 220 m. Rabots glaciär: A = 4.1 km, V = 346 10 m, h = 84 m, ht = 175 m.
Recent fluctuations of Glaciar Pío Xi, Patagonia : discussion of a glacial surge hypothesis
Although there is a general glacier retreat in mid-latitude Patagonia, Glaciar Pío XI has been advancing during the last 50 years. Author postulate that the advance periods have corresponded to glacial surges. Four models of explanation
A comparison of the mass balances and flows of Rabots glaciär and Storglaciären, kebnekaise, northern Sweden
Measurements on Rabots glaciär over the last decade give the opportunity to validate the representativity of the long mass balance record from Storglaciären for climatic studies. An excellent agreement in the trend of the net mass balance between
