Richterbreen

Richterbreen is a glacier in Nathorst Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is named after the Austrian glaciologist Eduard Richter. The glacier has a length of about six kilometers and is situated between the mountain ranges of Törnbohmfjella and Kjellmanberget, flowing westwards from the ridge of Breskarvet down to the valley of Richterdalen.[1] The river of Richterelva in Richterdalen originates from Richterbreen.[2]
