Abstract
In the summer of 1936 I joined the Swedish-Icelandic Vatnajökull Expedition, led by H. W:son Ahlmann and Jón Eythórsson. When they had left Hornafjördur on 21 June, Carl Mannerfelt and myself continued the ablation measurements on Hoffellsjökull until the middle of August. Besides these ablation measurements, we took the first observations of Hoffellsjökull’s movements, and samples of the water in Hornafjardarfljot to determine its silt content.
