Like Arctic permafrost (Hollesen et al 2018), high-elevation ice patches and glaciers are melting due to the warming global climate
The evidence that Lendbreen served as a mountain pass, probably for both intra-regional transhumance and long-range travel, increases in quantity from the Roman Iron Age through until the end of the Middle Ages
The site appears to have functioned differently from many other known mountain passes, in that it was used at times when enough snow and ice covered the scree
Summary
Like Arctic permafrost (Hollesen et al 2018), high-elevation ice patches and glaciers are melting due to the warming global climate. It is clear that Lendbreen was a focal point for regional transhumance and probably long-range travel starting during the Roman Iron Age (AD 1–400) through until the end of the Middle Ages (AD 1050–1537).
