Description
Summary:Systematic characteristics of glaciers in the Hornsund region are presented. Drainage basins limits were distinguished in southern Spitsbergen and 41 glaciers were classified by a morphological type as well as by thermics zones of ice and glacier dynamics. The glacial basin of Hornsund Fiord were delimited and some elements of morphometry for 28 glaciers of this basin were analysed. The glaciers of the Hornsund region were compared with glaciers of other Spitsbergen regions.
