The data contains the list of pingo and pingo-like forms over Svalbard archipelago. Each pingo is assigned with following data: coordinates, absolute height of pingo baseline, height of the mound, diameter of the mound, morphology of the mound, presence or absence of craters and crater lakes, presence or absence and chemical composition of springs/icings, chemical composition of springs/icings if applicable, geomorphological positioning, positioning relative to the local Holocene transgression limit, slope exposition if applicable, observed morphology dynamics, distance to the nearest glacier, presence or absence of vegetation cover, absolute or relative age of pingo formation where available, local geological strata and tectonic province, presence of confirmed or assumed fault line. The data allows to obtain statistics necessary for analizing pingos as phenomena of Svalbard. The Iidentification of pingos is based on Svalbard aerial survey high resolution images which are publicly available at Norwegian ...
