Lilliehöökbreen, Tidewater glacier in Spitsbergen, Norway.
Lilliehöökbreen extends 22 kilometers in length with a front spanning 11 kilometers, terminating in a fjord filled with floating icebergs.
The scientific documentation of this glacier began in 1906 when Duke Albert I of Monaco recorded measurements comparing its size to modern observations.
Named after Swedish commander Gustaf Bertil Lilliehöök, who participated in Otto Torell's 1861 expedition to Spitsbergen, advancing Arctic exploration.
The glacier system consists of more than ten separate ice streams converging into one mass, reaching an ice plateau after 20 kilometers inland.
Scientific measurements indicate the glacier has lost approximately 40 percent of its ice volume between 1906 and 2006.
