Veijo Pohjola. 60 ice dynamical work on nordenskiöldbreen/ lomonosovfonna 2009. Veijo Pohjola  23 juli 2007 — en forskningsplattform för fältarbetena, bl.a. vid Vestfonna, en glaciär där provtagningar kan ge information om klimat- och miljöförhållanden i. Much of Nordaustlandet lies under large ice caps, mainly Austfonna and Vestfonna, the remaining parts of the north being tundra inhabited by reindeer and  recover a depot of drill equipment left on Vestfonna during the spring operations.

Glacier-wide mass-balance rates will drop down to -4 m a(-1) w.e. (water equivalent) at a maximum. The date at which the equilibrium line rises above the summit of Vestfonna (630 m above sea level) is calculated to range between 2040 and 2150, depending on scenario.

The polythermal ice cap Vestfonna covers an area of 2340 km2 (Reference Braun Braun and others, 2011) of the island Nordaust-landet (northernmost Svalbard archipelago) at around 80° N extending between sea level and ∼630 m a.s.l. Along with the much larger neighbouring Austfonna and Icelandic VatnaJökull, it is among the largest ice masses of the European Arctic. The ice cap Vestfonna covered a surface area of 2340km2 in 2005 (Braun et al., 2011) and is thus the second largest single ice mass of the Svalbard archipelago and among the largest ice caps of the Eurasian Arctic (see Fig. 1). Its star-shaped ice dome is formed by an east–west oriented ridge that extends over the main summit, Ahlmann.

Vestfonna

Som namnet antyder ligger den nordost om Spetsbergen. En stor del av Nordaustlandet är täckt av glaciärer. Här finns t.ex. Austfonna ( Europas största), Vestfonna och Sörfonna.

Nordaustlandet (Nordöstlandet) är den näst största ön inom ögruppen Svalbard, med en yta av 14,443 km². Som namnet antyder ligger den nordost om Spetsbergen.

The date at which the equilibrium line rises above the summit of Vestfonna (630 m above sea level) is calculated to range between 2040 and 2150, depending on scenario. Arctic glaciers and ice caps

Its mass balance is poorly known and affected dynamically by these fast-flowing outlet glaciers. Hence, it is a challenging target for ice flow modeling. Vestfonna is an ice cap located on the western part Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. The glacier covers an area of about 2,500 km 2.

It is the third largest ice cap in Svalbard and Norway by area, after Austfonna and Olav V Land. The polythermal ice cap Vestfonna covers an area of 2340 km2 (Reference Braun Braun and others, 2011) of the island Nordaust-landet (northernmost Svalbard archipelago) at around 80° N extending between sea level and ∼630 m a.s.l.
