Looking for glacier photos

We need a good overview of imagery of glacier tongues for our glacier photo archive. We want to have imagery of as many glaciers in Norway as possible. In addition, we want to document the earlier condition of glaciers, especially prior to 1990. If you have good overview photos of glacier fronts that you wish to share with us, please send them to:

As digital photos: bre@nve.no

Paper copies or slide (for us to scan and return): NVE-HB, Postboks 5091 Majorstua, NO-0301 OSLO, Norway

Please provide the following information:

- Photographer

- Date (as close as possible – e.g. 1970, autumn 1970, October 1970, early October 1970, 8. October 1970)

- Region and glacier name (e.g. Skjomen – nameless glacier north of Storsteinsfjellet). If possible lease give the Glacier ID as given in NVE's glacier atlas (online map) or in the Glacier inventory book. E.g. GlacierID 664 for glacier north of Storsteinsfjellet in Skjomen.
