Lisbetbreen

Lisbetbreen (Lisbet Glacier) is a tributary glacier on the northwestern side of Universitetsbreen, on the divide between Andrée Land and James I Land in Spitsbergen, Svalbard in Arctic Norway. It is approx. 15 km long 'Z'-shaped flowing in an easterly direction from Millarpasset in the northwest, turning southeast along Spissfjellet and finally east again at the concourse with Universitetsbreen into Vestfjorddalen.
