Analysis of available instrumental data shows the correspondence of the basic stages, obtained on the different stations of the local network of the seismological observations of RNO-A. For the purpose of the more detailed investigation of the glacier Kolka collapse process data of the seismic stations given by Georgian collegues was investigated. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jgg/1/1/8/jgg-1-1-8.pdf glacierfallcollapseseismic records
