Summary plot for rover3 2018-2019
Here are some screnshots of rover3 on Breida’ – whch we moved in Aug 2019.
There’s a lot of energy in a glacial outflow river!
The outflow river bed remained almost unchanged while it was monitored from Autumn 2012 to Summer 2013. However, sometime between July 2013 and July 2014, the flow became violent enough to move massive boulders, as these images from the bridge camera show.
Note the big boulder – about 1 m high – right of centre in the foreground of the earlier image, which has been swept out of shot a year or so later.
Amazing new time-lapse video from our “bridge-cam”
This was taken since last october (2012) and shows the incoming snow, melting etc.
