Erdmannbreen

Erdmannbreen is a glacier in Nordenskiöld Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is named after Swedish geologist Axel Joachim Erdmann. The glacier has a length of about six kilometers, and is surrounded by the mountains of Malmberget, Ytterdalsgubben and Kosterfjellet.[1] The river of Ytterdalselva originates from Erdmannbreen and flows through the valley of Ytterdalen to the bay of Van Muydenbukta.[2]
