BREIDAMERKURJÖKULL, Iceland

The Department of Geography and Topographic Science at the University of
Glasgow in collaboration with the Department of Civil and Building
Engineering at Loughborough University have just completed the re-mapping
of one of the world's most famous and accessible glaciers -
Breidamerkurjökull in South East Iceland.

The new 1998 map and two selected aerial photograph stereo-triplicates, in
addition to the previously published 1945 and 1965 maps, are now being made
available for teachers and researchers as ideal tools for the teaching of
glaciology and glacial geomorphology or as an addition to your map
collection.

The high quality maps are at a scale of 1:30,000, printed in full colour
and include the surficial geology and geomorphology. The 1998 digital map
includes the original orthophotographic image over the glacier surface
thereby providing a clear impression of crevasse and supraglacial moraine
patterns.  The contour interval is at 10m on all the maps, allowing
reconstructions of glacier surface profiles through time and assessments of
glacial landform morphologies.

Full details, sample maps and images can be found on the Breida web pages at:

Apologies for cross-posting.
