Glaciological Reconnaissance of the Sukkertoppen Ice Cap, South-West Greenland

Abstract Gravity studies indicate that the Sukkertoppen ice cap is about 400 m. thick. The annual snow accumulation increases westwards from about 13 g. cm. −2 near the eastern edge of the ice cap to about 34 g. cm. −2 near Mount Atter, in the south-west. Probably all of the ice cap is “temperate”....
