Dynamic climate changes are particularly apparent in polar regions. Glaciers are retreatng towards the land at a very fast pace. This study demonstrates the application of the feature tracking method in the analysis of ice flow velocity in the region of the Hornsund fiord, southern Spitsbergen, in t...
