Long-term observations of surface velocities and strain rates at the Norwegian glacier Austre Okstindbreen revealed both temporal and spatial variations. During a period of 6 years, the amount of ice passing through a cross-section slightly below the mean equilibrium-line altitude (1250m) was some 3...
