Abstract The morphology and dynamics of the Hiorthfjellet rock glacier, Svalbard, are investigated based on analyses of (1) a digital terrain model and (2) surface velocity measurements during the time period 1994 to 2002. The Hiorthfjellet rock glacier is particularly suited for the interpretation...
