Abstract

The purpose of this study has been to prepare two maps on a scale of 1:5000 showing the changes in the height of the surface of the Blue Glacier between specified dates and from these to calculate the change in volume of the glacier. One map represents the change between 1939 amd 1952, and the other the change between 1952 and 1957. The comparative changes in the height of the ice surface and the volume are given. This is a preliminary report primarily to make the maps and data available to interested researchers.
