Comfortlessbreen

Between the old moraines of Comfortlessbreen and the surging ice margin lies an extensive alluvial plain derived from the adjacent glacier Uvêrsbreen. The surge has destabilised this area by creating an ice-marginal lake and revealing a complete sheet of buried glacier ice, in which thrusts are clearly visible. The thickness of the overlying alluvium is estimated to be 3-5 metres (MH).
