The pit dug in 1954 was located in Tjaldskarð, a col on the ridge to the north of the caldera (Figure 1). It is likely that high winds in the col cause considera- ble local snowdrift, reducing the accumulation on the ridge crest. Thus, the accumulation in Tjaldskarð is probably lower than on the summit plateau of Öræfa- jökull. The observed net balance at 1820 m on Öræfa- jökull is about double the measured precipitation at Kvísker and four times that measured at Fagurhóls- JÖKULL No. 48 51
