Preliminary report on glacier observations in Nordvestfjord, East Greenland

Abstract

In recent years great interest has developed concerning the balance of the Greenland ice sheet (Indlandsisen) and considerable efforts have been expended to throw light on the problem (for summary see Fristrup, 1966). Perhaps the greatest error in calculations is the estimation of the production of calf ice from the East Greenland glaciers for which, up til now, almost no accurate data has been available.
