Lange Glacier
Lange Glacier is a significant glacier located in the Svalbard archipelago, part of Norway. It is situated on the island of Spitsbergen and is known for its stunning ice formations and dynamic landscape. The glacier flows down from the surrounding mountains and contributes to the unique glacial environment of the region.
The glacier is part of the Arctic ecosystem, which is sensitive to climate change. As temperatures rise, glaciers like Lange are experiencing retreat, impacting local wildlife and sea levels. Researchers study Lange Glacier to understand the effects of global warming on polar regions and to monitor changes in glacial mass.
