Drainage of the Austre Okstindbreen ice-dammed lake, Okstindan, Norway

Observations of the discharge, electrical conductivity, cationic content, and isotopic composition of glacier-river water indicate that drainage of the lake dammed at the margin of the glacier Austre Okstindbreen, Okstindan, Norway, is preceded by disruption of the glacier's drainage system(s)....
