The Aldegonda (Aldegondabreen) Glacier, located on the Nordenskjold Land, West Spitsbergen, covers the area of about 6 km2 (in 2018) and does constantly retreat since the very first observations of 1936. In August 2018, a topographic survey of the glacier was carried out. By comparing the results wi...
