Roslin Gletscher is a sub-polar glacier in the central Stauning Alper which lie at 72°N in east Greenland. Interest has been focussed on this glacier in recent years since it is clearly of the surging type. The primary aim of the expedition was to survey a longitudinal profile of the glacier and to re-survey stake lines established by previous expeditions to measure ice flow rates. It is hoped that the results will throw some light on the stage of the surge cycle that has been reached. This should improve predictions of when the next surge may occur and allow closer study of the mechanisms which cause the glacier to surge. A secondary aim was to relocate a food and equipment dump, left from earlier expeditions, which was threatened by moraine movement.
