Freya (Fr\u00f6ya) Glacier is a 6km long valley glacier situated on Clavering Island 10km southeast of the Zackenberg research station at the northeastern coast of Greenland. Its surface area is 5.63 km\u00b2 (2013), reaching from 1300 m to 280 m a.s.l. and mainly oriented to NW with two seperated accumulation areas oriented to NE and NW. The thickest ice found during a GPR survey in May 2008 is 200m, located at the confluence of the two accumulation areas. GPR-data suggest, that Freya Glacier is a polythermal glacier with temperate ice in a limited area only, at the ELA near the bottom of the glacier.<\/p>\n

Mean values (1996-2005) of anual temperture and precipitation at Zackenberg (38m a.s.l.) are -9.2\u00b0C and 230mm. Mass balance measurements at Freya Glacier have been carried out by ZAMG since 2007\/08, the mean annual mass balance 2008-2018 is -0.3m w.e.<\/p>\n

Within the project Glacio-Live, a new automatic weather station (AWS) and two automatic cameras were installed on Freya Glacier in spring 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
