Was the Good Friday Glacier on Axel Heiberg Island surging?

Abstract

The lower part of the Good Friday Glacier on Axel Heiberg Island, N. W. T., started, sometime between 1952 and 1959, a period of markedly increased movement associated with a frontal advance of over 2 km, which showed clearly some of the features attributed to a glacier surge, while others were lacking. Such border cases merit special attention.
