The left ear of Foxfonna, 5 September 2017

The forefield of this outlet glacier is enigmatic, as its distal half was not covered by ice in the early 1900s. This half must therefore represent an older extent, from several hundred years ago. When, and by what process this was created, is a mystery.

Evidence suggests that the entire forefield is moving down-slope like a rock glacier, which might also be the explanation for its elongate forefield. If the glacier constantly refills it with debris covered ice, the entire forefield might move down like a dough, and extend farther than the glacier ever did itself.

The model was made from 396 vertical and 177 oblique images. The texture is enhanced with a multidirectional hillshading, to better show the terrain.
