Glazov Glacier
The Glazov Glacier (russian: ледник Глазов; ''lednik Glazov'') is a glacier in Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. The Glazov glacier has retreated between and in recent years. Two new islands and two headlands have been exposed in the area of the mouth of the fjord as a result. Geography The Glazov Glacier is located on the western side of northern Severny Island of Novaya Zemlya. It is a tidewater glacier flowing from the Severny Island ice cap in a roughly southeast–northwest direction. Its terminus is at Glazov Bay, a wide fjord located just south of Nordenskiöld Bay in the Barents Sea.GoogleEarth high Mount Kruzenshtern, the highest point of Novaya Zemlya, rises on the northern side of the head of the Glazov Glacier.

Tidewater Glacier
The tidewater glacier cycle is the typically centuries-long behavior of tidewater glaciers that consists of recurring periods of advance alternating with rapid retreat and punctuated by periods of stability. During portions of its cycle, a tidewater glacier is relatively insensitive to climate change. Calving rate of tidewater glaciers While climate is the main factor affecting the behavior of all glaciers, additional factors affect calving (iceberg-producing) tidewater glaciers. These glaciers terminate abruptly at the ocean interface, with large pieces of the glacier fracturing and separating, or calving, from the ice front as icebergs. Climate change causes a shift in the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of a glacier. This is the imaginary line on a glacier, above which snow accumulates faster than it ablates, and below which, the reverse is the case. This altitude shift, in turn, prompts a retreat or advance of the terminus toward a new steady-state position. However, this ch ...

Glacier Terminus
A glacier terminus, toe, or snout, is the end of a glacier at any given point in time. Although glaciers seem motionless to the observer, in reality glaciers are in endless motion and the glacier terminus is always either advancing or retreating. The location of the terminus is often directly related to glacier mass balance, which is based on the amount of snowfall which occurs in the accumulation zone of a glacier, as compared to the amount that is melted in the ablation zone. The position of a glacier terminus is also impacted by localized or regional temperature change over time. Tracking Tracking the change in location of a glacier terminus is a method of monitoring a glacier's movement. The end of the glacier terminus is measured from a fixed position in neighboring bedrock periodically over time. The difference in location of a glacier terminus as measured from this fixed position at different time intervals provides a record of the glacier's change. A similar way of trac ...

Operational Navigation Chart B-2, 3rd Edition
An operational definition specifies concrete, replicable procedures designed to represent a construct. In the words of American psychologist S.S. Stevens (1935), "An operation is the performance which we execute in order to make known a concept." For example, an operational definition of "fear" (the construct) often includes measurable physiologic responses that occur in response to a perceived threat. Thus, "fear" might be operationally defined as specified changes in heart rate, galvanic skin response, pupil dilation, and blood pressure. Overview An operational definition is designed to model or represent a concept or theoretical definition, also known as a construct. Scientists should describe the operations (procedures, actions, or processes) that define the concept with enough specificity such that other investigators can replicate their research. Operational definitions are also used to define system states in terms of a specific, publicly accessible process of preparation ...

Mount Kruzenshtern
Mount Kruzenshtern (russian: Гора Крузенштерна) is a peak in Severny Island, Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. It rises inland near the northwestern shore and is the highest point of Arkhangelsk Oblast. The mountain was first put on the map in the 1820s by Arctic explorer Fyodor Litke (1797–1882) following his Novaya Zemlya explorations. It was named after Russian Navy Admiral Ivan Kruzenshtern (1770–1846). The mountain's name must have been known to Soviet topographers, but for undisclosed reasons it was omitted in USSR maps printed in mid 20th century. Description Mount Kruzenshtern is a high mountain located near Nordenskiöld Bay. It is an ultra-prominent peak that rises on the western edge of the Severny Island ice cap, north of the head of the Glazov Glacier.Google Earth See also *Highest points of Russian Federal subjects *List of mountains and hills of Russia *List of European ultra-prominent peaks *Most isolated major summits of Europ ...

GoogleEarth
Google Earth is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles. Users can explore the globe by entering addresses and coordinates, or by using a keyboard or mouse. The program can also be downloaded on a smartphone or tablet, using a touch screen or stylus to navigate. Users may use the program to add their own data using Keyhole Markup Language and upload them through various sources, such as forums or blogs. Google Earth is able to show various kinds of images overlaid on the surface of the earth and is also a Web Map Service client. In 2019, Google has revealed that Google Earth now covers more than 97 percent of the world, and has captured 10 million miles of Street View imagery. In addition to Earth navigation, Google Earth provides a series of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nordenskiöld Bay, Novaya Zemlya
Nordenskiöld Bay (russian: Залив Норденшельда) or Nordenskiöld Fjord is a fjord on the Barents Sea coast of Severny Island in Novaya Zemlya, Russia. The fjord is named after Arctic explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld. Geography The fjord opens to the northwest in the western coast of the island between Cape Maslennikov in the west and Cape Cherny in the north. It narrows about from its mouth, bending in a west/east direction. Three glaciers converge at the head of the fjord, discharging from the Severny Island ice cap and covering the inner fjord with ice. Mount Kruzenshtern is located near the fjord. See also *List of fjords of Russia This is a list of the most important fjords of the Russian Federation.

Fjord
In physical geography, a fjord or fiord () is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier. Fjords exist on the coasts of Alaska, Antarctica, British Columbia, Chile, Denmark, Germany, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Ireland, Kamchatka, the Kerguelen Islands, Labrador, Newfoundland, New Zealand, Norway, Novaya Zemlya, Nunavut, Quebec, the Patagonia region of Argentina and Chile, Russia, South Georgia Island, Tasmania, United Kingdom, and Washington state. Norway's coastline is estimated to be long with its nearly 1,200 fjords, but only long excluding the fjords. Formation A true fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley by ice segregation and abrasion of the surrounding bedrock. According to the standard model, glaciers formed in pre-glacial valleys with a gently sloping valley floor. The work of the glacier then left an overdeepened U-shaped valley that ends abruptly at a valley or trough end. Such valleys are fjords wh ...
