Frysjabreen

Frysjabreen is a glacier in Nathorst Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It has a length of about six kilometers, and extends from the ridges of Breskarvet and Kjellmanberget down to the valley of Frysjadalen.[1] The glacier is named after the river Frysja, which originates from Frysjabreen and flows through Frysjadalen until its outlet into Van Mijenfjorden.[2]
