The Nordland shore region is known to be seismically active with deep local sediment basins on the
continental shelf that stretches some 200 km west of the coastline. The offshore areas west of Nordland

were carried out to obtain the flow and
sliding parameters for Hoffellsjökull that resulted in a good
simulation of the observed 20th century evolution of the
glacier geometry. The obtained values for the rate factor
and the sliding parameter are A= 4.6× 10−15 s−1 kPa−3 and
C = 10× 10−15 m a−1 Pa−3, respectively.
