Bråsvellbreen (English: The Sudden Swell Glacier) is a glacierinNordaustlandet, Svalbard. The glacier is a 45 kilometre long stream southwards from the ice dome SørdomenofAustfonna, debouching into the sea on the south coast. In the late 1930s it was observed that the glacier had exhibited a recent huge surge, forming a ten kilometre long tongue into the sea.[1][2]
This glacier, representing 13% of the total surface of Austfonna, is well known in the Arctic for its spectacular waterfalls and glacial streams.[3]
