Vestre Torellbreen

Vestre Torellbreen is a glacier in Spitsbergen, Svalbard.

It lies to the southwest of Wedel Jarlsberg Land, and runs southward to Isfjellbukta.

There was previously a 20 km wide glacier here together with Austre Torellbreen, but after the glacier split, there are now two glaciers each of around one km wide in the area known as Torellmorenen.

[1] The glacier is named after the Swedish geologist and glaciologist Professor Otto Torell (1828-1900)[2]
