  abstract = {{A}ccurate knowledge of temperate glacier mass balance is essential to understand the relationship between glacier and climate. {D}efined as the reflected fraction of incident radiation over the whole solar spectrum, the surface broadband albedo is one of the most important variable in a glacier's mass balance. {T}his study presents a new method to retrieve the albedo of frozen surfaces from terrestrial photography at visible and near infrared wavelengths. {T}his method accounts for the anisotropic reflectance of snow and ice surfaces and uses a radiative transfer model for narrow-to-broadband conversion. {T}he accuracy of the method was assessed using concomitant measurements of albedo during the summers 2008 and 2009 on {S}aint {S}orlin {G}lacier ({G}randes {R}ousses, {F}rance). {T}hese albedo measurements are performed at two locations on the glacier, one in the ablation area and the other in the accumulation zone, with a net radiometer {K}ipp and {Z}onen {CNR}1. {T}he main sources of uncertainty are associated with the presence of high clouds and the georeferencing of the photographs.},
