According to the geological maps of southern Spitsbergen, faults commonly run parallel to the glacier valleys' axis. General faults orientation is N-S and NNW-SSE. This may suggest, that the origin of glacier valleys is related to tectonics due to development of structural landforms on individual faults. The network of ground penetrating radar (GPR) profiles based on measurements on three glaciers of southern Spitsbergen: Recherchebreen, Hansbreen and Werenskioldbreen, was processed and interpreted for the presenc...
