Begleitworte zur Orthophotokarte "Langtaler Ferner 1971" im Mass-Stab 1:7500

As an example for the representation of glaciers using orthophoto maps the new map "Langtaler Ferner 1971" is presented. The orthophoto map shows the glacier "Langtaler Ferner" in the Oetztal Alps (Austria) on August 18, 1971. Apart from a description of the map production and a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of such orthophoto maps for the representation of glacierized areas, the stage of the "Langtaler Ferner" at the time of the flight is described. A comparison with some data of previously published maps is also included.
