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: http://www.geog.gla.ac.uk/Breida/breida.htm Apologies for cross-posting.
