Abstract:
The members of the two International Glaciological Greenland Expeditions (EGIG) in 1959 and 1968 determined the altitudes in the West-East-profile by levelling. The comparison of these two measurements gives evidence of the change of altitudes and of the surface-waves. The ways of measurement and of analysis are described here. The graphic representation of the result is discussed here in connexion with the possible causes.

Comment:
Caution! Values are not truly measured!Data were digitized from printed Abb. 3 (top) by using the software GraphClick (http://www.arizona-software.ch). Precision of values was set to 100 m for distance and centimeter for snow thickness.
