Tunabreen is a surging glacier calving into Tempelfjorden. It is currently (2004) in its active surge phase. Since winter 2003 it has advanced by ~ 1,5 km.

Heavily cravassed glacier front (20-30m ice thickness) and folded fjord ice are indicators of the glacier ice advance. Refrozen icebergs are visible all over the glacier front.
