New island in Kongsfjorden

5 October 2016

The optic engineer of the German-French AWIPEV base, Gristelle Guesnon, reports in her blog about a new island discovered in Kongsfjorden. It has appeared from under the Kongsvegen glacier and is named Shayan Island. It is about 40 meters long and has now a flag.
On the map it is still in the glacier, but the glacierws are so fast retreating, that the map is not giving the right situation.

Even on Google Earth, it is not visible yet.
