Abstract
Spatial variations in impurities (cryoconite) on the glacier surface were investigated on Qaanaaq Ice Cap and Tugto Glacier in the northwest Greenland in the melting season of 2012. Abundance of impurities ranged from 0.36 to 119 g m -2 (dry weight, mean: 18.8 g m -2 ) on bare ice and from 0.01 to 8.7 g m -2
