Kongsvegpasset Explained

Kongsvegpasset is a glaciated mountain pass at Spitsbergen, Svalbard, between Oscar II Land, Haakon VII Land and James I Land. It divides the three glaciers Sveabreen, Osbornebreen and Kongsvegen, at an altitude of about 750 meter.[1] An aircraft beacon is installed at the site.[2] Nearby mountains are the nunataks Vegvaktaren, Gjerstadfjellet and Centralen. North of the pass is the mountain Kongsvegsåta.[3]
