Ulvebreen

Ulvebreen is a glacier located in Svalbard, Norway. It's situated on the island of Spitsbergen, the largest island in the archipelago. Ulvebreen is a valley glacier, meaning it occupies a pre-existing valley. It is part of a larger glacial system in the region, contributing to the landscape through erosion and deposition of glacial sediments. The glacier's size and dynamics are subject to monitoring as part of ongoing research into climate change impacts in the Arctic. This includes studies of ice thickness, flow rates, and mass balance to assess its response to warming temperatures. The name "Ulvebreen" translates to "Wolf Glacier" in Norwegian.
